We run a judo programme at Ernest Bevin College, south London, in partnership with the British Judo Association.

Here, former pupil, Olympian and Commenwealth gold medalist Winston Gordon leads the coaching team. Winston, who will compete for Team GB in this year’s Olympic Games, uses judo to teach tolerance and discipline in the sport, school and the community.

He said: “Judo gives young people the discipline and self confidence to engage with a wide range of people from all walks of life. It promotes tolerance and discipline – and young people notice the positive difference on the mat, in the classroom and at home.”

His coaching and that of his coaching team is reaping benefits with sixth-form student Adam becomming Junior National Champion in the under 81kg category.

While Winston is currently on a sabatical to train for the Olympics this summer, fellow GB team mate Darren Hawney will lead the programme as Greenhouse Judo Head Coach.
