Congratulations Faye: Paralympic Gold

Congratulations to former pupil Faye Rogers for winning Paralympics GOLD medalist in the S10 Women’s 100m Butterfly. We are very proud!

Faye competed in the GB Olympic trials as a Sixth Former at Yarm, and responded with incredible fortitude since the car accident that left her with injuries that changed the course of her swimming career. She was incredible as our Guest of Honour at last term's Prep School Prizegiving recalling her journey to being a Paralympic athlete and providing inspiration to our pupils and staff, with a lesson in the importance of grit, resilience, hope and unfailing determination.

Faye is competing again tomorrow (7th September) so tune in to watch her.
