Stephen Perse Alumna Imogen Grant Awarded MBE in King's New Year Honours List

This prestigious recognition acknowledges Imogen's outstanding contribution to rowing and her exceptional sporting achievements, including her recent Gold medal win at the Paris Olympics alongside her rowing partner Emily Craig.

Imogen has consistently demonstrated a remarkable dedication to her sport. After leaving Stephen Perse, she pursued her passion for rowing at Trinity College, Cambridge, while also studying medicine.  

During her time at Cambridge, she achieved significant success as part of the Cambridge University Women's Boat Club, including two Boat Race victories and a course record.

Imogen's international career has been equally impressive. She has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent, securing gold at the 2018 World Rowing U23 Championships and bronze at the 2019 World Rowing Championships in Linz.

Following a heart-wrenching fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics, Imogen and her rowing partner, Emily Craig, embarked on an extraordinary unbeaten run. They have since claimed double world championship titles, double European championship titles, and were crowned World Rowing Crew of the Year in 2023.

This MBE award is a well-deserved recognition of Imogen's remarkable achievements and her unwavering dedication to her sport.

The Stephen Perse Foundation community is immensely proud of Imogen's accomplishments and eagerly anticipates her future endeavours.
