Huge congratulations to Year 9 pupil Tahlia Collis-Smith who took Gold at the British Schools Judo Championships on Saturday 14 March.

Tahlia, who trains with Nuneaton Judo Club, competed in the Years 8 and 9 age category, representing Princethorpe College, against a field of just over 80 contestants. The Championships took place at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield.

Tahlia’s tenacity and determination paid off as she worked her way through the competition beating opponent after opponent in a series of three-minute matches.  Her focus, concentration and sheer hard work helped her come first in her age group and confidently claim the gold medal.

Congratulations Tahila, we are incredibly proud of you.
