On Monday 9 December, Farnborough Hill celebrated the opening of the Purdue Performance Suite with a special visit from the athlete herself, Charlotte Purdue (2009).
The afternoon kicked off with an excellent ThinkTank session where pupils had the unique opportunity to sit with Charlotte and soak in her incredible journey. She shared her motivational story of becoming a GB long-distance marathon runner, offering invaluable insights into the world of high-performance athletics.
But the excitement didn't stop there! After a warm welcome from the girls, Charlotte cut the ribbon to officially open the new Purdue Performance Suite. Since its imaginative refurbishment, the suite has proven incredibly popular with the girls. They have enthusiastically embraced the new equipment and training opportunities, with many girls incorporating regular strength training into their routines.
To commemorate this special occasion, Charlotte generously gifted us her bib from the 2008 European Junior Cross Country Championships, at which she won Silver and Team Gold – a truly unique and cherished memento.
A heartfelt thank you to Charlotte for her time, support and for inspiring our pupils!
