Judo Star

Many of our GMS students pursue a sporting passion outside school hours. Now, the GMS community celebrates a success in judo: Charlotte Timson, in Year 7, has qualified for the British Schools’ Championships by coming FIRST in the competition: this is brilliant.

She travelled to Sheffield on 17th March 2019, to compete in the Schools’ Championship, where she was representing Great Marlow. Charlotte had three qualifying fights and won them all, which put her in the final.

The final was tense, she fought incredibly hard holding her competitor off to claim 1st place and win GOLD.

Charlotte is now the British Schools Year 7 Under 36 Kilo Champion.

Mr Timson says of his daughter, “Charlotte has dedicated a lot of time and effort into her judo and, out of the whole of Britain, Charlotte has come top and made her family, friends, judo club and school extremely proud of her achievement.”

GMS, like her father, is extremely proud of Charlotte: she’s a winner.
