Olympic star makes visit to Marston Green

ONE of Britain’s most successful Olympians recently dropped in at a North Solihull school.
Double gold medallist Rebecca Adlington had visited Marston Green Juniors to congratulate one of its pupils.
Eight-year-old Isabella Collins had won a competition to design a banner for leisure centre operator Everyone Active.
As a reward, arty Isabella and her classmates were invited to join Rebecca for a swimming masterclass at North Solihull Sports Centre.
“We received so many exceptional entries to the competition, but Isabella’s really stood out,” said the star of the London and Beijing Games.
Isabella’s headteacher Lynn Clark said: “We are so proud of Isabella and it has been such an amazing experience for both her and her classmates.
“For our pupils to spend time with such an inspirational Olympian like Becky was a wonderful and memorable day for us all.”
