Woodham Academy student, Ben Stephenson, recently attended the Duke of Cambridge Water Polo Cup in Northampton. The invitation only event, held on Sunday 26th June, was an opportunity for young athletes to compete for a place in the English Schools Swimming Association International Water Polo Squad.
This squad will represent England at an International Tournament in Malta in October. Ben’s hard work, commitment and dedication were evident at the event, resulting in Ben being selected for the international squad. The Year 10 student, who trains at Sedgefield Water Polo Club, was overjoyed at the decision and is looking forward to competing in Malta. Everyone at Woodham Academy would like to congratulate Ben on this excellent achievement.
