Abacus Primary School Assembly

Our founder John WIllis will be heading to Abacus Primary School in Wickford (Essex) to deliver an assembly to over 400 pupils exploring how he has overcome barriers throughout his life.  John, born without fully formed arms and legs, has not let this stop him.  A Cambridge University graduate in law, he practised as a solicitor for 12 years, specialising in property litigation and appearing in front of the judiciary, occasionally with humorous consequences.
Using videos, gadgets, and demonstrations John personifies the “art of the possible”.  He addresses all aspects of daily life – including dressing, eating and driving.  The video of his recent challenge JohnsRoad2Rio and the numerous gadgets and prosthetic attachments excite and intrigue, and lead to interesting explorations of the possible.

He will then run a Games2Inspire event for years 3,4,5 and 6 with students all participating in inclusive sports. We are sure they will have a wonderful day.
