    Dwij U Shines on International Stage in World Junior Cricket League

    We are thrilled to share the outstanding achievement of Dwij U, Year 8, who recently represented South England in the prestigious World Junior Cricket League, held in the UAE from 8th-14th April. The tournament was hosted by renowned England cricketer Adil Rashid and brought together the best young talent from around the world.

    Out of over 1,000 players aged 13-14 across the UK, only 39 were selected to participate in this elite competition — a tremendous accomplishment in itself. Dwij made his mark as the highest wicket-taker during the league rounds and went on to become the second-highest wicket-taker overall in the tournament.

    In recognition of his exceptional performance, Dwij was also named to the Team of the Tournament — an honour reserved for only 13 players out of 104 who competed across all eight international teams.

    We would like to extend our congratulations to Dwij and his family. His success is a testament to his dedication, skill, and sportsmanship. We also thank his teachers and the wider school community for their continued support in nurturing his talent.

    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
