Leigh Timmis back in school


Following on from his wonderful presentation to our Year 6 children in December, on Friday 8th February, Leigh Timmis returned to Silverhill to inspire the rest of our Key Stage 2 children.

Leigh personifies every value within our Silverhill Spirit and encouraged the children to believe that, if they set their mind to it, they could achieve anything they wished for.

Having cycled around the World, and more recently set a new record for cycling across Europe, Leigh once again proved that he is a truly phenomenal man with a phenomenal story - thank you Leigh!
