Ella (pictured left) holds a Sports Scholarship at Putney and is part of the school’s Elite Sports Woman Programme. She currently plays in the England U19 lacrosse squad and was selected to tour America in August 2018 where she was awarded Most Valuable Player and top goal scorer.

BT Sport run the annual award ceremony to celebrate the achievements of incredible and inspiring female athletes each year.

At a reception prior to the awards ceremony on Monday 3 December at the Olympic Park in Stratford, Ella and the other girls had the opportunity to chat with sporting heroes such as the England Netball team, Lizzie Yarnold (Olympic champion in skeleton) and Dina Asher Smith (European and Commonwealth Gold Sprinter).

They then attended the televised BT Sports Action Woman awards ceremony where they were given a special mention by Clare Balding as ‘stars of the future’.
