Will H - Athletics
'My experiences with running on the national stage have been very enjoyable throughout my time competing in athletics. At U13 level, I ranked the highest in the country at the 800m, and later at the U15 level, I won On's ‘Night of the 10k’ PB's, also in the 800m. I hope to continue to improve and work hard to further my performances in athletics. The experiences I have gained from the sport have been fantastic, and 91·çÁ÷Â¥·ïhas always been a huge help with training and competitions.' 

Sofia M – Netball
'At the age of 14, I was selected to represent the U17 National Performance League (NPL) Loughborough Lightning netball squad and went on to play with them at the NPL Tournament and U15 School Games. At 15 years old, I was selected to represent Birmingham Panthers U19s in the NPL tournament. This season, I’m still at Birmingham Panthers and a part of the squad of twelve. I love being a part of the team because it is my local pathway and has a fantastic community of coaches and players.

I also play for Ryland Netball Club, a local 91·çÁ÷Â¥·ïclub, where we have achieved great success at national competitions. I am also proud to represent the 91·çÁ÷Â¥·ï 1st team. We look forward to working together and achieving further success this year and next. I really enjoy training and playing at such a high standard with a great group of different people. These experiences have taught me a lot and continue to do so, and I am looking forward to the next stages of my sports journey.'

Frazer B – Football
‘I was selected to represent England U15 in May 2024, where we played four football matches in Croatia against Morocco, USA, Croatia and France. Competing against such strong opposition from around the world was an incredible experience and a real step up in intensity. It was an honour to wear the England shirt and stand alongside the best players in the country. Representing England at this level is something I am extremely proud of.

Personally, the experience has pushed me to raise my standards and prove to myself that I can compete at an international level. Playing against top opposition challenged my decision-making and consistency, helping me grow in confidence with every game. I learned a lot about handling pressure, staying focused and performing in high-stake environments. The opportunity has motivated me even more to keep improving and working hard so I can continue progressing within the England pathway.'

Martha B - Cross Country
'I started cross-country when I was 12 years old and trained at School. I enjoyed my first cross-country season, and I was encouraged by my progress. I continued training in Year 8 and Year 9, and qualified for the English Schools Championships, a national competition, in cross-country and track – in the 1,500 metres. I also represented the School at the English Schools’ Cross-Country Cup, a team event, which we qualified for in Years 8, 9 and 10. I am now competing in my third English Schools’ Cross-Country Championships.

My highlights have been finishing in eleventh place at the English Schools’ Cross-Country Championships, being selected as first reserve for the Junior Girls’ England Cross-Country Team, winning a bronze medal at the England Athletics National Championships in the 3,000 metres and, having finished in first place in the West Midlands qualifiers for the mini-Marathon, representing the region at the event in London. I enjoy both training and the challenge of competing, and I am looking forward to seeing where running might take me in the future.'

Chloe C - Equestrian
'I have successfully competed at international pony eventing level with my pony Blennerville Rua, progressing through the British Eventing pathway and taking part in multiple FEI international competitions. Across the 2025 season, I have produced consistent results in CCI2* Pony competitions, which led to me being long listed for the GB Pony Eventing Team. Selection at this level requires riders to compete in a series of international events throughout the season, producing strong performances across all three phases – dressage, show jumping and cross country.

Alongside my eventing career, I have also competed internationally in show jumping with Westwood II, travelling to Belgium to compete at an international show and continuing to build experience at that level. I have also competed internationally in Spain, before beginning my campaign to be considered for the GB Junior Eventing Team. Moving into Junior teams involves stepping up to larger tracks and stronger international fields, and I will spend the season competing at international events as I work towards that goal.' 

Oliver C - Swimming
'In 2026 I have competed in the Swim England Winter Nationals in the 50m Backstroke, placing 10th in England and 11th in Britain. Over the last few years, I have consistently qualified for and medalled at both County and Regional Championships across multiple strokes. 

Competing in swimming for over a decade has helped me develop valuable skills such as time management, enabling me to balance an intensive training schedule alongside my academic commitments. Swimming has also taught me how to stay focused under pressure and reinforced the importance of consistent hard work. I strive to continually improve in all aspects of my sport and am excited to see what the future holds.'

Zachary T - Football
'I was selected in December 2025 for the English Men's U15 team, not just that but a year early - making me the youngest across all teams. We played - and won - against Spain, Italy and Iceland, whilst scoring eleven goals without conceding.This was a very proud moment for me, my family, and coaches. Gaining experience of playing at the highest level of football at my age andmaking friends with people across the world, it was an honour to represent my country. But the hard work continues, and hopefully there will be more call ups to come.'

Isabella D - Athletics
'I have been competing in athletics since the age of seven and currently compete at national level for Birchfield Harriers. I have medalled multiple times at National Championships in the 60m, 200m and 300m, and have set a track record in Lee Valley for the 300m. Running the final leg in national relay events has been a highlight, competing under pressure alongside some of the best athletes in the country.

Despite facing injuries including Osgood Schlatter, a groin tear and plantar fasciitis, I have continued to progress while balancing academics at 91·çÁ÷Â¥·ïalongside training. I am now working towards competing at collegiate level in the USA and continuing to develop my performance at the highest level possible.'

Neave C - Hockey
'I am a determined and ambitious hockey player; my Talent Academy goal has seen me show exceptional perseverance in my journey to get there. I never allow setbacks to define me. Instead, I use each opportunity as motivation to improve, enabling me to return stronger, sharper, and more focused every time.

I am known for my competitiveness, I consistently push myself in both training and matches. I have an exceptionally strong work ethic, and this drives my commitment to developing my skills, fitness, and understanding of the game. I approach every challenge with a positive mindset and a determination to succeed. If I could give any advice to my peers, it is that my journey is a testament to the value of persistence and belief, proving that talent combined with effort and determination can open the door to new opportunities.

I am proud to represent the School in 1^st team hockey. I am also part of Sutton Talent Academy and I play 1st and 2nd team at my hockey club, Stourport.'

Henry F - Swimming
'In 2025 I was selected to be a member of the Swim Wales Development Programme, following my performances at the Welsh and British National Championships. This role allows me to take part in various training camps and hopefully, in the future, I will be able to take part in an international competition in Europe with them. Being among so many amazing swimmers has really helped me to understand what it takes to compete at such a high level and to make the most out of my swimming journey.'
