Trust-wide sports event for pupils at Prince Regent Street Trust

Each team, named after iconic local landmarks, competed for the Prince Regent Street Trust Games Cup.

It was an honour to have Richard at our event to inspire our pupils and staff to continue to strive for ‘excellence’ (another of our trust’s core values).
