Charlie, one of our Year 13 leavers, competed in the English Schools Athletics Championships in the summer as part of the Cheltenham & County Harriers team, winning the Senior Boys Javelin and securing a gold medal. His best throw of 63.73 secured him the title – and on the same day he was announced as part of the Great Britain team for the World U20 Championships! This is an incredible achievement, and we wish Charlie all the very best for the future and look forward to following his progress in athletics.
