Roraigh Achieves Scholarship at Watford FC

We were delighted with our Year 11 student, Roraigh Browne, who was awarded a scholarship at Watford Academy.

Roraigh is a keen sportsman and has been playing football for the past 5 years, namely in goal. He was scouted in a Saturday league game in the end of the season in Year 8. He then underwent a four week trial, which usually lasts 8 weeks but due to the interest he had generated from top clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, Watford were keen to sign him up quickly!

Roraigh is a testament to his peers, training extensively four days a week at two hours at a time and playing matches on the weekend.

On the 13th of December Roraigh was ecstatic to have been offered a two year scholarship for Watford as well as 10 other boys at the club. The scholarship will mean he is able to study for his A-levels with private tutors as well as playing football four days a week.

Congratulations Roraigh, we really look forward to hearing more on your successes in the future!

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
