Sports Day Returns!

Year 8, 9 & 10 had their Sports Day this week after missing last year's with the pandemic. We were delighted to see the students compete so well in their house colours and to hear them getting cheered on by their house mates as well as the dulcet tones of Mr Brown calling them in. We had some fantastic performances and some great efforts from students who wouldn't normally. It was particularly special to see the Year 8s compete in their first sports day. The noise from the supporting crowd was wonderful, particularly in the close finishes and when supporting all runners of all abilities.  

We also had a superb finale to the Year 10 pentathlon where Olivia Matharu & Roraigh Browne won their respective events. This was concluded with an 800m, after the 12 boys and 11 girls had competed in 100m, Shot, Long & High Jump over the past week. It was very apt to see these two cross the line first as they are both to be awarded with Senior Athlete of the Year.  

Year winners were:

Year 8 Boys: Lincoln

Year 8 Girls: Dane

Year 9 Boys: Dane

Year 9 Girls:  Exeter

Year 10 Boys: Temple

Year 10 Girls: Clare

Current overall standings before Year 7's & 8S's event: 

1st - Exeter, 2nd - Lincoln, 3rd - Dane, 4th- Temple, 5th - Burleigh, 6th- Clare,

7th - Clement, 8th- Essex

We hope to conclude sports day with Year 8S doing their events next week & Year 7 will have their own Sports day on Tuesday afternoon.

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
