Thomas Robert Daley - (born 21 May 1994, Plymouth, England, United Kingdom is an English diver, who specialises in the 10 metre platform event and is currently the FINA World Champion.
He started diving at the age of seven, and is a member of Plymouth Diving Club.
He has made an impact in national and international competition at an early age.
He represented Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics, where he was Britain's youngest competitor, the youngest competitor of any nationality outside the sport of swimming, and the youngest to participate in a final.
In the first post-Rome 2009 World Championships edition of the FINA World Diving Rankings for the ten-metre platform, he reached a new career best ranking of number one.
He resides at home in Plymouth with father Robert, mother Debbie and two brothers, William and Ben.
Tom's father, Robert, passed away peacefully on 27th May 2011 following a lengthy battle with a cancerous brain tumour.
Education
From age 11 to 14 Daley attended Eggbuckland Community College.
At 13 he became a celebrity supporter of ChildLine, a children's helpline run by the NSPCC, and at that time it was revealed that he had been bullied eighteen months earlier.
In April 2009 Daley alleged to Plymouth's main local newspaper The Herald that he had been regularly bullied at school since the Olympics,[43] and his father told the BBC that he had temporarily withdrawn him from Eggbuckland because its response to the problem had been ineffective.
Daley was praised in the media for speaking out about the problem.
Daley was promptly offered a full scholarship to board at independent school Brighton College, but his father turned this down due to the distance from home, and entered negotiations with local independent school Plymouth College, which had offered him a "very significant scholarship".
Plymouth College regularly offers swimming scholarships, and its ex-pupils include 2008 Olympic medallist Cassie Patten.[48] A few weeks later it was confirmed that Daley had enrolled at Plymouth College.
Daley took his GCSEs in small batches to fit round his diving commitments. He persuaded supermodel Kate Moss to pose for a recreation of an original portrait by David Hockney, as part of a GCSE photography project recreating great works of art, after meeting her on a photo shoot for the Italian version of Vogue.
Having obtained 2A and 5A* grades in his GCSEs, Daley has begun his two year A level courses in Maths, Spanish and Photography, having declined to undertake the International Baccalaureate course because of the parallel pressures and time necessary for his preparation for the 2012 Olympics.
