  With all of OBS's great sporting success, it only seemed fitting to have School Sport's Ambassadors. After a class vote, the four Y5 children selected were Christian, Aaryan,  Libbie and Kara. Their roles as Sport's Ambassadors will include; helping out at school sports events, playing games with KS1 children and generally being role models around school.

   

  Well done to those children. I'm positive you'll be great!
