Perry is the official mascot for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham this year and is trying to visit as many schools in the country as possible.

Perry has had a tour of the school this week, attended an assembly, completed a lap around the school field with Year 2, attended a PE lesson and had lots of photos taken with children during his time with us. He was then passed on to Bedgrove Junior School at the Inter-School Swimming Festival on Wednesday together with a letter telling them about the adventures he has had this week at Stoke Mandeville Combined School.

Fun facts about Perry:

• The person who designed Perry is only 10 years old!
• Perry is covered in hexagons which represent the coming together of everybody for the Commonwealth Games.
• Perry is named after the ‘Perry Barr’ area of Birmingham which is very close to the stadium hosting the athletics and opening and closing ceremonies.
