Inspirational Gracie Thorne entered a dance and singing competition, claiming a bronze in both, and also doing so in a wheelchair!
The amazing student is at Priory Community School Academy, part of The Priory Learning Trust in Somerset.
Most recently, Gracie entered the Supreme Dance competition in September 2022 and came second.
Competing in these dance shows has inspired many young disabled children and teens like her to do something like this.
