T54 British athlete Lizzie Williams cut the ribbon to the track at North Heath Community Primary School and then she took a celebratory lap with year-six House Captains and Cross-Country team.

The track has been in use since installation finished in May, and curriculum leader Sarah Head said that the pupils have loved going out for a daily run around the 200m track aiming to do a mile every day.
