Pupils from Nursery to Year 3 met Paul Sturgess this week, the tallest man in the UK and the tallest professional basketball player in the world. Standing at 7 foot 7.26
inches, he spoke to the pupils about the importance
of a healthy lifestyle, keeping fit and embracing our
differences. He told them about how he started playing
basketball at the age of 14 and went on to play for the
Harlem Globetrotters under the nickname ‘Tiny’. The day
continued with fun, high-tempo basketball sessions and
a chance to try some special tricks. Such an inspirational
day.
