Sports students prepare for athletics season in Lanzarote!

Forty three students visited Lanzarote with PE staff during the Easter holidays, and spent seven days at Club La Santa. The visit is an annual event during which students can increase their fitness levels in preparation for the athletics season on their return to school for the summer term.

Twenty boys and twenty girls from Years 7-10 attended the trip and three Year 13 students also joined the trip as leaders.

The students had an enjoyable time whilst improving their skills in a non-competitive environment. At the end of the trip, a friendly pentathlon was held, which PE teacher Mr Garden’s team won. Miss Welford, Assistant Head of the PE Faculty, reported that the students worked hard at their fitness levels, and had a very productive visit in a lovely environment. The students are now looking forward to participating in the numerous athletics events during the summer term.

Sporting Success: A Season of Triumphs for the PE Faculty

It has been an exceptional start to the year for our sports teams, with pupils across Year 7 and Year 11 delivering outstanding performances on the pitch, the court and the track. Here is a roundup of the latest results from the PE Faculty. Football Successes: The Year 11 Boys football team produced a fantastic display to reach the U16 County Cup Quarter Finals. While all 15 squad members contributed superbly to the team effort, special mention must go to Frankie and Myles, who were named Players of the Match after scoring two spectacular long range strikes. Ollie and Sammy also found the net to complete the scoring. Meanwhile, the Year 7B team showed true grit in wet conditions to secure their second win in the district league against CDS. A great goal from David and a composure-filled penalty from Player of the Match, Zak, secured the victory.  Athletics Achievements: Our Year 7 Athletics teams have seen their dedication pay off after training hard on Thursdays throughout the term. At the TR&W SSP Indoor Athletic Meeting, the Girls’ team took home a brilliant 1st place, while the Boys’ team finished a strong 3rd. We also have a massive individual achievement to celebrate. Theo (Year 7) has been crowned the U13 South of England Shot Put Champion at the Lee Valley Indoor Track. In what was his first-ever indoor competition, Theo smashed his personal best by 50cm. He also showed great pace on the track, reaching the semi-finals of the U13 60m sprint and missing out on the final by a heartbreaking 0.06 seconds. Basketball Season Opener: The basketball season got off to a super start with a thrilling game against Rickmansworth School. In a contest between two evenly matched sides, our team came out on top, led by a fine performance from captain Seth. Congratulations to all pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship!
