Shireland Collegiate Academy celebrated a standout achievement as student Danika secured third place in the Elite category at the British Schools Central Zonal Trampoline Competition in Penarth earlier this year. Successfully completing both her routines, Danika has now qualified for the national finals in March, putting her among the country’s top school gymnasts. The competition, hosted by the British Schools Gymnastics Association (BSGA), encourages participation across all gymnastics disciplines for students of all abilities. Working alongside national bodies including British Gymnastics, the association provides pathways for beginners and elite athletes alike, promoting not only physical skill but confidence, focus and resilience in young people. This latest success builds on a strong performance at the West Midlands Championships in November last year, where Danika was joint first after her opening routine and went on to finish second overall, securing the title of West Midlands Champion in her category.
