Going for Gold in Maths Challenge!

Congratulations to the 136 students in Years 9, 10 and 11 who took part in the Intermediate Maths Challenge, which was held on Thursday 6th March. Special congratulations go to sixty percent of our entrants who received a certificate following their participation in the challenge, compared to the national average of forty percent of entrants receiving certificates! In total the students achieved 41 Bronze, 28 Silver and 11 Gold Certificates. All of the recipients of Gold Certificates have qualified for the follow-on round, which will be held on Thursday 19th March.

Particular congratulations go to Freddy Nash in Year 9 and Mia Bentham in Year 11 who have qualified for the Maths Olympiad. Only the top 600 students nationally in each year group qualify for the Olympiad. In addition, Mia’s excellent performance has resulted in Mia receiving an invitation to attend a week-long residential summer school, run by United Kingdom Mathematics Trust in July.

Well done to all our students, and good luck to those going through to the next round on 19th March, and also to Freddy and Mia for their next round of the Olympiad.

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!
