KWS Sports Update

Golf

Congratulations to James M in Year 8 for becoming a member of the Under 14’s Hertfordshire county golf team. This is an impressive achievement.

 

Netball

A great first game for the Year 7A netball team vs Loreto. The final score was 12-8 with the player of the match being Sophie K. This was then followed up with an intense match for them against Roundwood Park in the district cup. Unfortunately, a 17 – 19 loss on this occasion, but the girls performed excellently with Sophie T identified this time as the player who showed the most endeavour.

The Year 10A team also had their first game of the season v STAGS B, coming away with a 17-11 win. Daisie S was noted as the player of the match.

 

Rugby

We had a very competitive set of fixtures against Samuel Ryder, which turned out to be our last fixture of the rugby season due to our Beaumont fixture last weekend falling foul of the weather. All teams showed heart, but well done in particular to Year 8, who continued their fine form this season. Overall, it has been a hugely positive season for our rugby squads and praise to all students that have represented KWS rugby squads this year.

 

Football

Well done to the Year 7 boys football team after a 5-2 win in the county cup plate. On a challenging surface, the boys were still able to play some attractive football. Every member of the squad played their part in a confidence-boosting performance.

Another superb performance by the Year 9 boys football team beating Kings Langley in the county cup. They now look forward to the quarter finals after Christmas.

 

Finally, a great game for the U16 girls team vs STAGS. A very promising win and 5 different goal scorers. Great work girls.

Dragon’s Apprentice – quiz night

On Thursday 12th December some of  our year 12 students put their entrepreneurial skills to the test by running a quiz night to raise money for a charity called  – ‘Thin Blue Paw’ https://www.thinbluepaw.org.uk/

It is a national charity and supports serving and retired police dogs from across the UK.

Dragon’s Apprentice pairs teams of Year 12 students with local business people (a Dragon) and each team is then matched with a local charity or community group.  They are then tasked with developing business strategies and delivering their ideas to turn £100 of seed capital into £1,000 or more, with all profit generated going directly to the team’s charity.

The target to raise £1,000 was exceeded from ticket sales, bar sales and raffle and participants enjoyed a chip supper from Godfrey’s of Harpenden.

The sixth form students were a credit to the school and worked well as a team to put on a great event for the community.
