A sports student with cerebral palsy is celebrating after winning three gold medals in a national athletics competition.
Barnet and Southgate College student Sean Jean-Houston, 20, won two gold medals on the track and a third in the long jump at the Cerebral Palsy Sport National Championships in Nottingham last weekend.
Sean, who also has learning difficulties, is doing a supported learning athletics course.
David Byrne, principal at the college said: “Sean is an inspiration to us all and I have no doubt he will be a future Paralympian for Team GB.”
