Star of BBC’s Gladiators pays a visit to Dorset school

Children at a local primary school were in for a treat when they received a visit from one of the stars of TV gameshow ‘Gladiators’.

On Thursday 11 September, Steel the Gladiator (real name Zak George) went to Witchampton C of E First School to inspire and encourage the younger generation to be more active and eat more healthily.

As well as meeting the students and posing for photos, Steel answered their questions and impressed the children with his athletic ability, including demonstrating a handstand.

Headteacher Sarah Fairman said: “We were thrilled to welcome Steel the Gladiator to Witchampton school, he wowed everyone with his amazing handstands and high energy. The children were inspired by his strength and enthusiasm, leaving them excited to make healthy choices every day.”

Witchampton First School is part of the Initio Learning Trust.
