Tom Daley, a 15-year old diving Olympian for the British team, has reportedly switched schools after he claimed that he’s being bullied from his former school.

According to reports, Daley, who was part of the British diving team in last year’s Beijing Olympics said that he’s being bullied at Eggbuckland Community College and that he has no choice but to transfer to a public school in Plymouth.

Plymouth College said that Daley is welcome in their school and even agreed to provide substantial scholarship assistance to the 15-year old, who also placed second at the World Diving Series event in Sheffield recently.

The officials at the Eggbuckland Community College said that they are now conducting an investigation on the claims made by the diving star.

Daley recounted the bullying experiences he got at the school, saying that he’s been called names, thrown at with bits of paper and a lot more.

Daley continued to gain honors for the country after winning a gold medal at an international diving competition held in Florida, United States in May. He said that he’s looking forward to meet new people in the new school. The school officials also feel the same.
