Sharman House Janis is one our Year 11 Sharman House sporting superstars. Janis started her sporting journey playing football aged 7. The team was managed by her dad which consisted of mostly boys. Janis’ first position was as a goalkeeper as the team didn’t have one! From her local team in Chatham, Janis then started at Chelsea Football Club in the Developmental Squad, where she stayed for two years honing her skills and fitness. Injury forced Janis to take a temporary step back and she missed an entire season at Chelsea whilst she was recovering and growing. Next move was to Charlton Athletic Ladies Football Club Under 12s and for whom she still represents nationally. Here are the results: Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 1st Place – Kahlo House 1st Place - Angelou House 1st Place - Kahlo House 2nd Place – Seacole House 2nd Place - Sharman House 2nd Place - Angelou House 3rd Place – Angelou House 3rd Place - Kahlo House 3rd Place - Seacole House 4th Place – Sharman House 4th Place - Seacole House 4th Place - Sharman House Year 10 Year 11 1st Place - Sharman House 1st Place - Seacole House 2nd Place - Kahlo House 2nd Place - Sharman House 3rd Place - Angelou House 3rd Place - Kahlo House 4th Place - Seacole House 4th Place - Angelou House Overall House Placings: 1st Place - Kahlo House 2nd Place - Angelou House 3rd Place - Sharman House 4th Place – Seacole House Janis shows huge commitment to her sport and trains three times a week and plays a match on Saturdays.
