Two students at Chiswick School have recently achieved personal sporting success at a very high level.
Perdy, who is in Year 7 recently competed at the British Taekwondo National Championships where she was crowned National Champion in the Advanced category.
Perdy is a member of the local ‘Ilyeo’ Taekwondo club and also a British Taekwondo National squad member.
A number of other Chiswick School students also attend the local club; two of whom won a gold and silver medal in the B class competition.
llyeo Taekwondo Club, which is based in the Hogarth Youth Centre at the bottom of Duke Road, aims to be a friendly and very progressive martial arts school which runs classes for both adults and children of all abilities.
Isla, who is in Year 8, represented Great Britain in the World Acrobatic Championships in Guimaraes, Portugal last month. She was discovered in one of Richmond Gymnastics Association’s recreational classes at Grena Road before moving to the Acrobatics squad ‘Richmond Gymnastics’ at the age of seven.
A spokesperson for Chiswick School said, “These are fantastic achievements for the school, the clubs and community. We are extremely proud to be nurturing such talent.”
