Mount Kelly School, Devon was honoured to welcome HRH The Princess Royal to the opening of their brand new 50-metre swimming pool in January. The school already has a superb list of swimmers among its illustrious alumni, boasting 72 international swimmers, 17 Olympians and six Paralympians.
The new pool has now been built thanks to a grant of £706,000 from the National Lottery and Sport England. It is currently open for use by pupils, members of the local community, and swimming clubs from across the south-west as part of the ASA ?Learn to Swim? programme.

Headmistress, Jo MacKenzie, says: ?This title from Apple acknowledges our commitment to preparing girls for the future.?
