Well done to year 7,8 and 9 students on their success at the Hertfordshire County Athletics Track and Field Championships, which was held at Jarman Park, Hemel Hempstead, on Saturday 9th June. Congratulations to Toby (Year 9), who achieved first place in discus (and automatic selection for entry to the National Finals) and also to Nick (Year 9) who won 1st place in the 200 metres and 3rd place in the 100 metres events. Year 7 student Roraigh won 1st place in the Javelin and broke the County Record. His throw of 36.57m means he is currently ranked 5th in the country. Runners up included Grace (Year 9) in the 800 metres race and Scarlett (Year 8) who competed in the hurdles. This is a fantastic achievement and the first time the school had three teams qualify for the highest calibre regional final in the country. It was also the first time in twelve years that the Years 9 and 10 Boys' team had been selected for the Track & Field A Finals.

On Tuesday 19th June the three teams attended the East Anglia Region ‘A’ Finals in Chelmsford . All  teams stepped up to the high standard of competition, which resulted in many personal best times for the athletes. The Inter Girls team finished in 11th place, the Inter Boys team finished in 10th place, and the Junior Boys team achieved ninth place, only just missing out on the National Finals!

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
