Tracey Neville visits school!

The newly appointed England netball manager, Tracey Neville visited Holcombe Brook this afternoon! She coached the netball team and then took part in a question and answer session with the whole school in the hall. Can you remember anything Tracey told us? Write it in the comments box below.

We are all very great full to Tracey for taking the time to visit us and also to Miss Burns who made it all possible! Miss Burns used to play netball with Tracey and they have remained good friends.

Look out for photographs in the Bury Times.
