A group of twenty pupils from Driffield School savoured a day they will never forget with Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill.
Ennis-Hill hosted an inspiration day organised by Sky Sports Living for Sport - a free national schools-based initiative delivered in partnership with the Youth Sport Trust.
The lucky pupils were invited to Get Inspired With Jessica Ennis-Hill at her training ground at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield, after being selected for one of only 15 ‘Golden Tickets’ for schools thanks to Sky employee Lee Thomas-Mason.
Leeds-based Thomas-Mason chose to send Driffield School, his former secondary school, to the event after winning an internal competition .
Andy Duke, head of PE at Driffield School, said: “Our pupils were blown away by the experience of joining Jessica and so many sporting legends in Sheffield. It was incredible to see the pupils inspired to try so many new activities and seeing them so proud of their achievements.”
