Woodham Academy year 11 student, Ben Stephenson, has recently been balancing his preparation for GCSE exams with training with, and playing in the Great Britain Under 17 Water Polo squad.  Having been notified of his selection at the end of April, Ben has been working hard on both fronts to prepare for two significant events.  Ben has regularly been selected for representative teams early and this is no different with him representing Great Britain under 17s at the European qualifying tournament whilst still in the under 16 age group.   Ben has received many accolades from the Woodham Sports Academy in recognition of his outstanding achievements.  Along with his international selection, these are just reward for the continuous dedication and commitment he had shown in both his studies and his Water Polo. Ben travelled to Manchester on Saturday 29th April and attended the official ceremony where he collected his GB Cap from the Mayor of Manchester.
