🏆⚽ EURO CHAMPIONS! ⚽🏆
Huge congratulations to the Lionesses – our EURO 2025 champions! 🇬🇧❤️
Their triumph is not just about football – it's about resilience, teamwork, and heart.
One story that truly moved us… 💥 Lucy Bronze played through the tournament with a fractured tibia – yes, you read that right! 😮 Her strength, determination, and passion are a powerful reminder that greatness often comes through grit and sacrifice. 💪🔥
To all our students: Let this be your inspiration. Whether in sport, school or life, never underestimate what you’re capable of when you stay focused and believe in yourself. 🌟
We are so proud of the Lionesses – and so proud to sh#Lionesses #EURO2025h#PrideOfEngland!#resiliences#inspiration5#lucybronzeg#dreambigi#girlpowers#winners #nevergiveup##FootballHeritagee#schoolspirite#ChasingGreatnessllHeritage #SchoolSpirit #ChasingGreatness ... See MoreSee Less
