Table Cricket at Lords Cricket Ground
Mrs Aitken and Mr White took a group of pupils to Lords Cricket Ground for the National Table Cricket Championships. Hill Top School was invited this year to play a demonstration game of Target Cricket at the finals. This new version of table cricket is designed specifically for children with learning problems rather than physical diabilities. Needless to say the children did us proud, months of practice paid off and Hill Top won by 226 runs - 225. Pupils and staff stayed two nights at Stoke Mandeville and the visit turned into a wonderful social and educational experience. Many thanks to Hill Top School PTA for helping to fund our trip.
