Orienteering

We are delighted that we have finally had an orienteering course installed around the school grounds in the last few weeks. Orienteering provides an excellent opportunity for students to develop their map reading skills, as well as cardiovascular endurance. We have introduced it into core PE lessons for Year 10 and 11, and will make it part of the curriculum timetable for all year groups moving forwards. Thank you very much indeed to KWAF for providing the funding for this fantastic additional feature to the PE curriculum – it is greatly appreciated.

Gymnastics

A massive well done to everyone who competed in the recent trampolining competition over the weekend. It was an extremely tough competition and they all did their absolute best. All 9 competitors performed brilliantly with:

Will E – 2nd Place

Jude D – 5th place

Matthew P – 2nd place

Riley W – 4th place

Joshua P – 6th place

Dylan W – 2nd place

Violet R – 9th place

Sophie D – 2nd place (team only)

Lucy H – 5th place (team only)

All the boys progressed to the BSGA National Finals in Derby in March. Well done all.

Netball

During the recent weeks, we have also had some entertaining netball fixtures for a variety of year groups, with fixtures against Sandringham, Roundwood, Beaumont, St George’s and Samuel Ryder. Amelia S, Macy R, Violet S and Emily C (all Year 7), Emily (Year 8) and Chloe T (Year 9) were all highlighted as KWS’s most outstanding players in terms of performance and effort in their respective games.

Football

A clinical win by our Year 9 boys’ football team in the quarter final of the county cup against Ashlyns School. A mixture of goal scorers and every squad member got valuable game time. We look forward to our semi final against Chauncy School at the beginning of March.

To run alongside this, we have also had a number of Saturday football fixtures for Years 7-10 against St Columba’s College and Nicholas Breakspear. Some hugely impressive performances from all year groups, including Year 10 having a morale-boosting and convincing win in their most recent game. Particularly impressive performances across the school from Noah E (Year 7), Henry C (Year 9), Liam E (Year 9) and James B (Year 10).
