This is a true honour. To be recognised be the town you grew up in and supported me when I needed it the most. It’s been a long journey.

Thank you to Gavin Walker, co-captain Team GB Wheelchair rugby, who delivered his inspirational talk ‘Get comfortable, being uncomfortable’. It was a very proud moment to witness a Rotherham athlete and father of one of our very own Y7 students, lift the gold medal in Tokyo 2021.
