Celebration Assembly - Great Women

This week our school value of determination was epitomised by boxer Nicola Adams - the latest role model we have chosen for our Great Women section of our Values Assembly.

Trailblazer Nicola made history as the first woman to win the Olympic gold medal for boxing. She was also the first openly LGBT boxer to win a medal. Up until 2012, the Olympics didn’t allow women to compete in boxing, so Nicola was fighting stereotypes to earn her place in the ring.

Always a trailblazer, Nicola didn’t stop making history when she stopped boxing last year. Two years ago, she was on our screens in Strictly Come Dancing.
