Crowds welcomed the Olympic torch as it was carried through Broadstairs and the surrounding towns.
As it passed a few hundred metres from Dane Court, Mrs Susan Flory took over the torchbearing. Mrs Flory is a parent of past Dane Court students and a long-time supporter of the school and our local community. Mrs Flory handed the flame on to Team GB tennis olympian Elena Baltacha.
Earlier in the day, year nine Dane Court student Chloe Gambrill carried the flame at Ramsgate harbour.

On Wednesday 4 July, under the baking sun Dane Court competed at the Thanet Athletics Championships, with all 4 teams becoming team champions (under 13s and under 15s boys and girls).
On Saturday 30 June the Parents' Association organised our inaugural hog roast. It was a excellent event that was great fun and well attended. Students, parents, staff and their families were all able to meet together and enjoy music, good food and fun activities. I would like to thank the parents of the Parents Association who worked so hard to make sure the afternoon was such a success.
Representing Thanet at the Kent Schools Games Table Tennis Finals at the University of Kent, Dane Court came away with a double gold medal success as both the Under 15 Boys and Girls teams were crowned County champions.
