Andrea, Year 11, Wins BBC Young Sports Personality of Year

We're delighted and so #ProudToBeHAB of Andrea, Year 11, who was yesterday named BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year.

She will collect her trophy live on BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year show, which will be aired on BBC One on Sunday 20th December.

"It feels amazing, I'm over the moon! I don't have any words for what it will be like to get the award at Sports Personality of the Year," she said on winning the award.

Andrea, who is a member of Crystal Palace Diving Club, gained her first ever senior national crown earlier this year, winning the Women's 10m Platform event at the British Diving Championships. A month later, she repeated that success on the international stage, taking Women's 10m Platform gold at the FINA Grand Prix in Rostock.

"Exemplary role model for other HAB students"

"This award is a huge accomplishment for Andrea, and such testament to her continued commitment, resilience and positive attitude towards her goals in diving, whilst maintaining her excellent academic record," said Vice Principal Lyndsay Harris. "Andrea is an exemplary role model for other HAB students and we will continue to support her as she continues to train for the summer 2021 Olympics.”

Andrea says: "For people getting into any sport, I'd tell them to have fun, love their sport and to really enjoy what they are doing - and to have a dream. I'm getting so far in my sport, and I am enjoying it so much because my dream is the Olympic Games. I know I can get there if I carry on with what I'm doing."

Andrea was talent-spotted several years ago by Crystal Palace Diving Club. “I was a gymnast and so quite flexible and strong, and I started doing well at diving so I stopped my gymnastics and swimming and just focused on diving, and my love for it just grew,” says Andrea.

A huge well done, Andrea, from everyone at HAB. You're amazing and an inspiration to all of us!
