Finn’s GB European Gold in foil fencing

Congratulations to Finn (10MWV) for winning Gold at the European Fencing Federation’s 14th Witold Woyda’s Foil Competition, held recently in Warsaw. Finn was part of the fencing team representing Great Britain (GB) in the tournament’s U17s Team Event.

To represent your country in sport is an amazing feat and we are extremely proud of Finn, who was one of the event’s youngest competitors. It was a challenging competition with some very strong contenders – so very well done to Finn for his outstanding performances and the resolve he and his GB teammates showed in some tough, hard-fought matches.

This is a remarkable achievement and the School looks forward to supporting Finn as he continues to build on his journey of excellence in fencing. n

Congratulations to our very own Mr Clarke, Teacher of Biology, on winning Gold with his team at the recent World Rowing Coastal Championships 2022, held in Wales. This is an amazing accomplishment and one well deserved for Mr Clarke, who faced the international coastal rowing elite at the event.

It is great to hear about our teachers’ successes and we hope his news will be a real inspiration to all at John Lyon. Here’s wishing Mr Clarke continued success in his future rowing endeavours. n
