Matt Allman, Headteacher, said: “Libbie is part of our school’s Elite Performer’s Scheme where we work education around elite athletes and performers so that school dovetails with exceptional talent outside of our walls. We are thrilled that Libbie is getting this recognition – the nomination alone is only a reflection of her work and the fantastic support given to her by her family. We would urge everyone to vote for Libbie and to put one of our own on the world map for what is a rapidly growing sport.”
