Head Boy George Hahn made the most of his time at BGS and credits the school with supporting his ambitions for a career in the sports industry.

George, who joined BGS on an Assisted Place in Year 7, played first team cricket and rugby for BGS and enjoyed athletics and other sports. Outside of school, he took part in the Yorkshire Rugby Academy Group. He chose to study economics, maths, PE and psychology at A Level and, as he entered the Sixth Form, made the decision to become a prefect because he wanted to give back to the school: “For me, the most important thing was to repay the investment and opportunities that the school had given me since I joined in Year 7” he said.

“From the multitude of sporting activities to lessons where the teachers have helped develop me to where I am today, I’ve loved my time at BGS. It’s a fantastic place to come and do sport. The facilities are great and there are so many high-quality coaches. It’s like one big family. You find yourself surrounded by the right kind of people who have the same drive to compete.” George has made many friends at the school and has particularly enjoyed the sports tours abroad. There will no doubt be many more sports adventures on the horizon. On results day, George learned he’d received grade As across the board which secured his place at Loughborough University – named the best in the world for sports related subjects – to study Sport and Exercise Science. “It’s bittersweet to be leaving BGS,” said George. “I’ll miss it. But my younger brother will still be here, so I’ll be coming back to visit!”
