    From Marlborough Sports Hall to Representing Great Britain: Local teenager Ronia Joshi, 15, has achieved an amazing milestone in her artistic roller-skating journey from taking her very first steps on skates at Marlborough Sports Hall aged just three, to representing Great Britain in Figueres, Spain. Ronia has grown up with a real love of skating and has dedicated countless hours to training, always showing passion, determination and commitment. Her journey hasn't always been easy - various injuries almost stopped her progress, but Ronia worked hard to come back stronger and continued to pursue the sport better than ever. Last year, she became part of Quartet Kymera, skating alongside girls from across the country from different clubs. Building a successful quartet meant regular training, travelling and learning to perform together as a team. The girls competed at the National Quartet Championships in June, where they not only won it but also achieved the qualification needed to compete internationally. They then made history by becoming part of the first British quartets sent to compete internationally at the Cup de Europe in Figueres, Spain. This September, Ronia and her team represented Great Britain in in the Cadet B Quartet category. Kymera achieved an impressive 4th place, narrowly missing out on a podium finish and achieving a personal best. For Ronia and her family, seeing her journey develop from a little girl skating at her local sports hall to competing internationally for her country has been an incredibly proud moment. Her story is a wonderful reminder that big dreams can start in small, local places and that passion, resilience, teamwork and determination can take you a very long way. #RollerSkating #SkateDedication #SkateCommunity #HardWorkPaysOff #RollerSkateTraining #SkateJourney #LifelongSkater #StartedYoung #RollerSkatingChampionship

    WHERE CAN LANGUAGES TAKE YOU? Our Year 9 students had the fantastic opportunity to hear from guest speaker Rob Hunt, who spoke about the exciting opportunities that learning languages can open up. Rob shared stories from his career working as an interpreter in professional football, including interpreting for some of the biggest names in the game – even Zinedine Zidane! It was a brilliant chance for students to see how languages can be used beyond the classroom and how they can lead to exciting careers, international travel and opportunities to work with people from all over the world. A huge thank you to Rob for giving up his time to inspire our Year 9 linguists! Languages really can take you places! #Languages #MFL #French #Spanish #CareersWithLanguages #Year9 #LanguagesOpenDoors #Football #ZinedineZidane #InspiringStudents #EuropeanDayOfLanguages @robhunt @RHlanguages
