KWS Gymnastics and Trampolining Squad, along with the KWS Dance Company, attended the District Gym and Dance Display hosted by St Albans High School on Monday this week. It was a fantastic evening that brought together students from across the district to perform and showcase the work they have been developing throughout the year.

We were delighted to see both our Junior and Senior dance teams perform their competition routines, alongside performances from our gymnastics and trampolining squad, who presented both a trampoline routine and a floor routine. All students represented the school brilliantly, demonstrating great skill, commitment, and enthusiasm. Staff were incredibly proud of their performances and the way they conducted themselves throughout the event.

This past week saw two exciting events for our KWS Trampoline Squad. First our National Trampoline Finals in Derby for our qualifiers. Every single one of them did their absolute best, setting themselves personal goals to achieve and they smashed them all. Our Year 7 boys team, Dylan G, Theo V and Archie D, pulled out a magnificent team effort winning gold in the team event, making them the National Champions for years 7-9. Well done to you all.

Secondly we had the pleasure of showing off our skills at the District Gymnastics and Dance Display at STAHS on Monday. We took 16 of the team and performed a wonderful set of Trampoline routines as well as a very lively trampette and tumble routine. With over 300 spectators in close quarters this was quite daunting but, as always, they all performed brilliantly. We are so very proud of you all.
