Students win East of England finals in national NHS Competition

NHS staff Elaine Turner (Health Careers Representative), and Natasha Green (Paramedic), attended the Year 9 assembly on Wednesday 15th May to present Year 9S students Jake, Rikhil and Dexter with certificates in recognition of them being named Regional Winners in the East of England ‘Step into the NHS Schools’ 2019 Competition.

The competition is part of the Step into the NHS campaign, run by Health Careers, and is open to 12 to 14 year olds. The competition aims to get students thinking creatively about health service careers and their future work prospects.  Over 3600 students from across the country took part in the competition with students having to select one of the 350 careers in health, and work creatively to produce a job advertisement and a job description of the ideal candidate.

All of our Year 9 students produced electronic entries during their careers modules in Personal Development as well as during one IT lesson. The winning team chose the job role of a paramedic and produced a video advert.

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!
