At Shoreham Academy, we are always proud to celebrate the achievements of our students - and today, we’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on Ronnie Deacon, a young talent who is making waves in the world of motorsport.
Ronnie, a Year 7 student, recently secured 8th place in the UK at the British Indoor Karting Championship (BIKC) finals held in Warrington. This prestigious national competition saw thousands of entrants from across the country compete for a place on the podium. Ronnie’s success follows an impressive performance through a series of local and regional qualifiers, showcasing not only his natural driving ability but also his determination and focus under pressure.
What makes Ronnie’s journey even more remarkable is how it all began. Just over a year ago, he attended a friend’s karting birthday party - a fun day out that would unknowingly ignite a passion and talent that has since propelled him into national rankings. In such a short amount of time, Ronnie has progressed from complete beginner to one of the top young indoor karting drivers in the country. His rise is a testament to his hard work, discipline, and love for the sport.
Ronnie’s dream is to one day compete in Formula 1, following in the footsteps of heroes like Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris. However, karting - often considered the entry point to a professional racing career - is an incredibly demanding and expensive sport. From travel and equipment to training and race fees, the costs quickly add up.
To continue his journey and reach the next level, Ronnie is seeking sponsorship from local businesses, organisations, and individuals who are passionate about supporting young talent and investing in the future of British motorsport. Sponsorship would not only help cover the financial demands of racing but also provide Ronnie with the platform to gain greater exposure and access more advanced training and competitive opportunities.
If you or your company would like to support Ronnie and become part of his journey to the top, you can follow and contact him through the following platforms:
Ronnie is a shining example of how far passion and dedication can take you, even in a short space of time. His story is still being written, but already it serves as an inspiration to his peers and the wider Shoreham Academy community.
We encourage everyone to follow Ronnie’s journey as he races toward a bright future. With continued hard work, the right support, and the drive he’s already shown, there’s no doubt he could be a name we’ll all remember in the world of professional racing.
