In 2024, she won the gold medal in the team event of the 2024 World Aquatics Championships. Days later, she won a bronze medal in the 10 metre platform, the first world medal won by a British woman in an individual Olympic event. A third medal, another bronze, followed in the 10 metre synchronised platform event.

She made her international debut in 2018 as a thirteen year old, and won her first solo international gold medal at the 2020 FINA Diving Grand Prix. Later that year Spendolini-Sirieix was recognised as the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year. She won the gold for the women's individual 10 metre platform at her first Commonwealth Games, in 2022, the first English woman to win the event since 1966. Two weeks later, she became European Champion in the same event, representing Great Britain. Sirieix went on to win a further gold at each event in the synchronised discipline; in the women's event at the European Championships with Lois Toulson, and at the 10 metre mixed synchro event at the 2022 Commonwealth Games with Noah Williams.
