Glasgow Commonwealth Games Selection

Jaswant Shergill a former student of Handsworth Grammar School has been selected for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games this August in the 63kg weightlifting competition. Jaswant is the current UK record holder at Under 20 level for the clean and jerk.

Jaswant was a student here in the Sixth Form having joined HGS from St John Wall School. He has successfully completed an English degree at Birmingham University, and has been a regular visitor to HGS this year, as he hopes to pursue a career in teaching.

We wish him every success in Glasgow in August.
