Kye began riding BMX when he was just 3 years old! Riding runs in the family, with his father Nigel a co-founder of the famous Peckham BMX Club, which is just round the corner from our school. It was from here that Whyte got his “Prince of Peckham” nickname and began his ascent from the streets of South London to the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Kye was part of the Team GB’s Olympic team and came away with a silver medal as the Brits took the BMX events by storm. As a local resident, Kye came to visit our school and showed our children his silver medal and his BMX bike. We want to thank Kye for his time – the children were super excited to meet a famous person!
