Tewkesbury Academy has proudly unveiled a new Roll of Honour Alumni Board in its gym, celebrating the incredible achievements of former students across a wide range of sporting disciplines.

The display spans from 1972 to 2025 and showcases an extraordinary array of talent and dedication.

It stands as an inspiration for current and future students, reinforcing the academy’s commitment to building pride and ambition within its community.

Among those celebrated are:

  • Sarah Hoefflin – Winter Olympic gold medalist
  • Adam Harper – National boxing champion
  • Craig Openshaw – World record holder in open water swimming
  • Hattie Bailey – Cheerleading England
  • Mollie Courtney – GB Athletics national champion
  • Amelie Curtis – Wales U19 football international
  • Chloe Sheppard – GB U23 rowing athlete
  • Megan Ahearne – Women’s senior Gloucestershire Cricket
  • Marc Richards – England University football captain

Principal of Tewkesbury Academy, Kathleen McGillycuddy, said: “We are incredibly proud of our alumni and the diverse paths they have taken to achieve success at the very highest levels.

“The Roll of Honour is not just a celebration of past achievements, but also a source of inspiration for our students today – reminding them that with ambition, hard work and resilience, they too can go on to accomplish extraordinary things. It is also testament to the teachers who have supported and inspired over the years and we owe a big thank you to Mr Graham-Kevan for bringing this project to fruition”

The board will be updated regularly to reflect the continuing achievements of former pupils and stands as a permanent symbol of the academy’s strong tradition of excellence. Plans are afoot for drama, music and business alumni to be celebrated in a similar fashion.
