Brighouse High School student Evie Lambert competed at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow last week.

Evie competed in the 100m freestyle and 200m individual medley in the para swimming events after being selected by Team England.

After performing well in her heat, she progressed to the final where she shaved four seconds off her heat time and achieved a season’s best time.

In the 100m S9 freestyle she finished third in her heat and again reached the finals, achieving sixth place.

Alongside an intense training schedule, Evie took her A-level exams this summer, and plans to attend Loughborough University to continue her training and study a degree in psychology.

A spokesperson for Brighouse High School said the school is “so proud” of Evie, praising her “determination and resilience” in managing her training alongside her studies.

Head of Sixth Form, Caroline Lee, said: “Everyone at Brighouse Sixth Form is so proud of Evie and we have followed her journey throughout her time with us.

“She has shown so much determination and resilience, often training before attending lessons and exams.

“We wish her luck in the next stage of her education and look forwards to seeing her continued success in the pool.”

A statement from the school added: “Brighouse is incredibly proud of Year 13 student Evie.

“Balancing the demands of elite sport with studying for her A-levels is an incredible achievement in itself, and her resilience, determination and commitment have been an inspiration to everyone at Brighouse High School and Brighouse Sixth Form College.”
