Keep an eye out for some of our former students, who are enjoying impressive sporting successes and achievements!
Karenjeet Kaur Bains
Karenjeet is the winner of 3 Gold and 2 Silver Commonwealth Powerlifting medals and has represented Great Britain at the World and European Championships. She also holds the Guinness World Record for the ‘Most Bodyweight Squats in a minute’.
Karenjeet’s is now set to take on contenders at the Sheffield Utilita Arena as the Gladiator Athena in the BBC One and iPlayer gameshow.
She says: “I represent all those from diverse and minority backgrounds, especially women, that have ever been denied the opportunity to pursue their dreams in sport. I hope I can be a role model and show the levels a female can achieve, if she is given the opportunity to follow her passion and given the wings to fly!”
We look forward to seeing Karenjeet on our screens soon!
Ellan Fraser
Ellan will soon be representing Great Britain at the Wheelchair Basketball World Championship in Dubai. The team’s first game will be against Spain on 10 June, 3.45 PM GMT.
We wish Ellan and the rest of the team the best of luck!
Jess Carter
Jess is a regular player for Chelsea FC and was part of the England squad who became Euro 2022 champions.
Jess was an exceptional sportsperson during her time at Myton, competing in every school team and linked to both Rugby and Football Academies.
Jess wants girls to realise that professional football is an option and for them “to have that ambition and dream and see that it can become a reality.”
Jess is an inspiration to young people and demonstrates all that can be achieved through hard work and dedication.

Tia began playing padel (a combination of tennis and squash) at age 12, and after just six years in the sport turned professional in 2021, becoming the first British woman to compete on the professional circuit.
Tia was announced as the first recipient of the Padel Award at the LTA Tennis Awards ceremony in 2022, and also won the London Padel Open that same year.
You can follow Tia’s sporting events and achievements here.
We’re excited to see what Tia accomplishes next!
