#AlumniSpotlight: Josh Kirlew – Paris Olympics

23rd July 2024Mrs S Field

Fantastic news to hear that ex-student, Josh, has been named as one of the flag bearers in the Paris Olympics.

Josh was with us from 2011 to 2018 and went onto study for a Bachelor of Laws at Westminster University.

Josh was part of the Enfield swim squad, and recently competed in the World Championships in Doha. Currently ranked 41st in the world, Josh, at the age of 24, is making his debut at the Paris Olympic Games representing Jamaica in the Men’s 100m Butterfly.

We wish him the best of luck for the Olympics and continued success following his dreams!
