Year 6
Year six have two classes who are named after the Olympic Champions, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
Jayne and Christopher were both born in Nottingham (Jayne in Clifton and Chris in Calverton) and gave up jobs as a secretary and police officer to concentrate on their amazing skills of ice dance. Over the times that they competed they were British, European, World and Olympic champions, scoring a perfect twelve 6.0s in the 1984 Sarajevo Olympics for their iconic performance of their Boléro. They spent years touring, training other athletes and judging and presenting Dancing on Ice.
