Gym and Dance Display 'Project:Diversity' 2022

Congratulations to nearly two hundred students who took part in the annual Gym and Dance Display, which was recorded in the Barbirolli Hall on Monday 21st February.

The students performed pieces including Trampette work, Floor gymnastics, Contemporary dance, Tap dance and Modern dance. This year we themed the show to highlight diversity within the world. We made a decision to explore these elements by recognising, respecting and valuing difference. An example of a few areas explored are disability, LGBTQ+, Culture and Mental Health. 

PE teacher and Gym and Dance Display Organiser Miss Tucker said: ‘The students have worked extremely hard in very difficult circumstances. We have had a number of restrictions in place which have made it challenging this year. However, without fail the students have worked tirelessly to ensure the routines were up to the same standards as usual. The passion and commitment to bring this project alive wouldn't have been possible without the curiosity and drive from the students involved'.  

Miss Tucker extended thanks to helpers: Layla Ozcan, Yolanda Brett, Kaitlyn McHale, Jack Coleman, Lewis Patterson and Finn Bullen all of whom made an invaluable contribution towards the organisation and running of the event. The Lighting team, comprising of Carl Taylor and Thomas Kirby, were also praised for their help. 

A huge thank you to Miss Tucker too, for her work in putting this event together and enthusing the students to produce such thoughtful and creative pieces.

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!
