Oulder Hill Community School and Language College

Oulder Hill Community School

During the summer holidays, Isobel Meikle, a Year 11 student, competed in Sheffield at the British National Swimming Championships and came tenth in the 200m Individual Medley in her age group. She also competed in the English National Championships and came first in the 400m Individual Medley in her age group, a brilliant achievement. Well done Isobel.

Congratulations to Hannah Mills in Year 10 who has been selected for the Lancashire squad at Rugby. Hannah was successful in the trials she participated in over the weekend. This achievement is even greater considering that she only started playing Rugby a year ago, as a result of the All Schools programme that Oulder Hill has successfully adopted under the leadership of Mr Bardsley.
