Extra-curricular Achievements

When in Year 13, Rachael P was proud to have been awarded the title of National Beam Champion, making her top in the country in this sporting event. Rachael said that the competition was exciting but nerve-wracking because she wanted to do well on beam since it was her favourite and strongest piece. She was shocked by her win but very happy that she was capable of achieving such a high standard.

Rachael started gymnastics thirteen years ago and has competed in Kent, Regional and National competitions for many years. This was her last ever competition because she had decided to leave the sport at the end of October to concentrate on her A-level studies.

Rachael said, “My plans are now to focus on school but also help out at the gym to enable others to accomplish their goals and overcome their fears.” The school are proud of Rachael and her success – congratulations Rachael!
