Year 12 Student, Alex, Represents South East at National Fencing Finals 🤺

We’re delighted to bring you yet another inspiring update from our Shoreham Academy community - because when our students achieve something remarkable, we believe it’s worth shouting about! 📢🤺

This time, we’re celebrating the incredible accomplishment of Alex, a Year 12 student who recently competed in the UK National Fencing Competition in Sheffield. Representing the South East team, Alex stood with the top 50 fencers in the country - a huge honour and a moment of pride for both him and our school.

Alex’s journey to the national stage began with a standout performance at the regional level, where his skill, focus, and determination earned him a spot on the South East team. Fencing is a sport that combines lightning-fast reflexes with strategic thinking and mental resilience, and Alex has demonstrated all of these qualities in abundance.

The national competition brought together the best young fencers from across the UK, each one bringing their own unique style and strengths. For Alex, it was not only a chance to test his abilities against top-tier opponents, but also an opportunity to grow as an athlete, gain valuable experience, and represent his region with pride.

We’re incredibly proud of Alex - not just for his performance, but for the dedication and discipline it takes to reach this level. Competing nationally is no small feat, and it’s a reflection of countless hours of training, perseverance through challenges, and a genuine passion for the sport.

And to all our students and alumni: if you’ve been involved in something exciting - whether it’s a competition, a creative project, a personal goal, or something that made you proud - we’d love to hear from you. Your achievements, big or small, deserve to be celebrated. Please feel free to get in touch with us at info@shoreham-academy.org so we can share your story too.

Well done, Alex!
