A Visit from Leah Chowdhry
It's not every day that you get to meet a real life 'wonder woman' is it? This is what happened to the Dairy Meadow family on Friday 31st January 2025 as we welcomed Leah Chowdhry to our school.
Leah is the first British Asian woman to swim the English channel. She swam constantly for nearly 14 hours, travelling over 40km to reach her destination. She battled: jellyfish, seasickness and even huge cargo ships to achieve her goal. She also shared how she didn't let her diagnosis of dyslexia at an early age affect her life chances, as well as how to adopt a positive mindset when faced with all manner of challenges. Plus she's written an amazing book about her life story!
I know all our children were absolutely captivated by Leah whose message resonated with all members of the Dairy Meadow community. We wholeheartedly thank Leah for generously giving up her time.
