Year 10 netball success at international sports competition

Twenty Year 10 students enjoyed a successful tour to Disneyland Paris at Half Term to participate in The International Junior Netball Festival 2017. The Festival is held twice a year and combines highly competitive netball tournaments with international players' coaching master classes.

Congratulations to both the A team who came 6th in the International Cup, and to the B team, who won their Plate Competition. Well done to both teams on their success!

The Festival is organised in partnership with England Netball and is open to teams of Under 12, Under 14 and Under 16 age groups.

Year 10 student Vinita Patel said 'During this trip we made some new friends, bonded as a team, and pushed ourselves to achieve something that most of us never dreamed of doing. Best of all we got to have the full Disneyland Experience. Thank you to all the students who came and made this the best possible trip it could have been, and special thanks to Miss Welford and Miss Court for organising it.'

Year 8 Swimmers Make Waves at County Championships

We are delighted to announce that two of our Year 8 pupils, Sam C and Grace F, have achieved significant success in the pool, qualifying for and competing at the prestigious County Swimming Championships. Qualification for Counties is a major milestone in the swimming world. To be eligible, swimmers must achieve strict published qualifying times and rank within the top 25 competitors in their age group across the entire county. Both students have demonstrated exceptional talent to reach this elite standard. Sam has secured his place in an incredible variety of events, demonstrating his versatility across both sprints and long-distance endurance races. Representing Berkhamsted Swim Club, Sam will be competing at the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans throughout January. His comprehensive schedule includes: Freestyle: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m Butterfly: 50m, 100m, and 200m Individual Medley: 100m, 200m, and 400m Matching this high standard of performance is Grace F, who represents the U13 age group. Grace has already secured a fantastic 9th place ranking in the county for the 100m breaststroke. Beyond this individual success, Grace is a dedicated member of Ricky Swim Club and a vital part of the SCD team, regularly representing the school in the Herts League. Reaching this level requires a sustained and high level of commitment. Over the past eight months, both swimmers have balanced intense training schedules and regular licensed galas alongside their academic studies. Their success is a testament not only to their athletic ability but also to their discipline and excellent time management. Please join us in congratulating Grace on her top10 ranking and wis
