EXCITING VISIT: Rickmansworth primary school welcomes Gladiator for ‘best day ever’

 Published on: 22nd October 2025   |   By: Kelly Pells   |   Category: Uncategorized

The call rang out across the playground at St Peter’s Church of England VA Primary School: “Gladiators, ready!”

The pupils had the chance to meet their very own TV legend when Zack George, aka Steel from the BBC show Gladiators, visited the Rickmansworth school on Thursday, September 18.

During a full school assembly, Steel spoke to the children about the importance of eating healthy, drinking water and keeping fit, as well as having a positive mindset.

The CrossFit athlete also showed off his skills by walking across the hall on his hands and taking part in a push-up challenge against one of the teachers.

He then visited each of the classrooms from nursery up to Year 6, answering any questions from the pupils and taking photos in various Gladiator poses.

To top off the day, the school’s parent teacher association set up an obstacle course on the field for all the children to take part in, including a Gladiator-style duel.

Many pupils said it was “the best day ever”.
