The atmosphere was buzzing as she arrived to inspire our students with her remarkable journey in sport. Emily kicked off the afternoon with a lively assembly, sharing her experiences in the Olympics and encouraging everyone to chase their dreams, no matter how challenging they may seem. After the assembly, Emily led a short PE circuits sessions for each year group. All children were keen to learn and participate. A huge thank you to Emily for visiting and reminding us all about the power of determination and hard work. What a memorable day for our school! ### Emily Ford [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/emily-ford/Rec%20Class%20GB%20Athlete.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/emily-ford/Rec%20Class%20GB%20Athlete.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/emily-ford/Y1%20Class%20GB%20Athlete.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/emily-ford/Y1%20Class%20GB%20Athlete.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/emily-ford/Y2%20Class%20GB%20Athlete.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/emily-ford/Y2%20Class%20GB%20Athlete.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/emily-ford/Y3%20Class%20Photo%20GB%20Athlete.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/emily-ford/Y3%20Class%20Photo%20GB%20Athlete.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/emily-ford/Y4%20Class%20Photo%20GB%20Athlete.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/emily-ford/Y4%20Class%20Photo%20GB%20Athlete.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/emily-ford/Y5%20Class%20GB%20Athlete.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/emily-ford/Y5%20Class%20GB%20Athlete.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/emily-ford/Y6%20GB%20Athlete.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/emily-ford/Y6%20GB%20Athlete.jpg) [Year 1](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-1) [Year 2](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-2) [Year 3](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-3) [Year 4](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-4) [Year 5](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-5) [Year 6](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-6) [PE & Sport](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/pe-sport) [Reception ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/reception) [SMSC & Cultural Capital](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/smsc-cultural-capital) [Personal Development](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/personal-development) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_2710.JPG)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-02-04-11-56-00-y2-writing-noun-phrases) Previous ### [Y2 - Writing (noun phrases)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-02-04-11-56-00-y2-writing-noun-phrases) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_5217.jpg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-02-06-07-17-00-year-4-s-anglo-saxon-adventure-at-weaver-hall) Next ### [Year 4's Anglo-Saxon Adventure at Weaver Hall](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-02-06-07-17-00-year-4-s-anglo-saxon-adventure-at-weaver-hall) ### School Life - [Brookside Blog ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog) - [News](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news) - [Events](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/events) - [Photograph Galleries ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/photo-galleries) - [School Council](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/school-council) - [After-School Clubs ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/after-school-clubs) - [KIDZ Club](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/kidz-club) - [Calendar](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/calendar) - [Newsletters](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/information-for-parents/newsletters-2026-2027) - [Mental Health ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/mental-health) ##### Location Rostherne Avenue Great Sutton Cheshire CH66 2EE ##### Contact Us 0151 558 1123 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/brooksideprimary/) © Copyright 2014–2026 Brookside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
