Rebecca was a student at Wallington High School for Girls between 1991 and 1996 and her tremendous success in both rowing and cycling are a reflection of that determination, ability and sheer hard work which characterised her time here.

We are thrilled and delighted that Rebecca has fulfilled her dream and won Olympic Gold in the Women’s 3000 Metres Individual Pursuit in Cycling. With an Olympic Silver Medal in the sport of Rowing, Rebecca is only the second woman (and the first British woman) in history to win medals in two different sports at the Summer Olympics. We are looking forward to seeing her ride for Britain in the 2012 Olympics in London. Her motto is:

You can but dream . . . . but can you live your dream?
