Seventy Sports Studies students recently visited the Olympic park and its grounds as part of an educational trip that would help to better prepare them for their Sports Studies exam. They visited facilities including West Ham’s Stadium, The Velodrome and the Aquatics Centre.

Students gained a greater understanding of the legacy that the Olympics has left and how the facilities have been adapted to become stadiums, leisure centres and colleges for locals and beyond. A greater understanding of the Olympics and its importance was gained as well as an opportunity for our students to visit our capital where the games were held.
