Athletics

Well done to all students who have represented the school so well over the course of the athletics season. Unfortunately the season was cut short due to the last 2 meets being rained off, including the District Championships.

However, at the recent county athletics championships we had a number of very impressive performances in very soggy conditions. Key performances included: Jesse G being crowned county champion for the 2nd year in a row at high jump! He has secured a spot at the English Schools Competition, which is an amazing achievement. Kiera H smashed the year 7 100m in 3rd place! Heather G came 7th in the 300m final with a PB of 46.87 sec, despite being a year younger. She also got a PB in the high jump too. Well done! Darci M won her heat and then got silver in the 200m final with a new PB despite a tough season with injury. Well done to Sophia J and Poppy D who competed in the long jump, finishing 5th and 6th respectively in the county with jumps of 4.12m and 4.31m respectively. A great effort from Ben K, who competed in the javelin. Ben threw an initial 3 throws which secured him a place in the final. He then threw another 3 with a best of 34.52m, placing him 5th in the county! A fantastic effort from all!

We look forward to the upcoming KWS Sports Day where students can showcase their sporting prowess further.

Tennis

Well done to the U13 & U14 girls’ tennis teams in their recent fixture vs SJL. The girls did themselves proud!
