GIFTED & TALENTED STUDENT KIERA BYLAND INCLUDED IN THE QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY HONOURS!

Bolton College student Kiera Byland epitomises Gifted & Talented!

Joining us on a sports programme straight after leaving school, Kiera has since collected a haul of medals to rival the most successful of Olympians; she has SIX Special Olympics gold medals in cycling and has since been awarded a British Empire Medal in the Queen’s Birthday Honours, making her a BEM.

Kiera said: “All my tutors at College have been so supportive and flexible, encouraging me and making sure that my learning fits around my strict training schedule as well as all my other commitments.”

The support Kiera received through the Gifted & Talented Programme clearly had an effect; after completing her sports programme, Kiera decided to stay on at College to study business with a view to setting up her own coaching company, something we’re sure she’ll make a great success of!
