GLT Championships – University of Bath

On Monday 7th July, sixteen students travelled to the University of Bath to represent our school in the GLT Championships. Each student competed in both a track and a field event, demonstrating exceptional skill and sportsmanship. Their hard work and determination were rewarded with seven individual medals across 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes. It was a fantastic day of high-level competition, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for these talented athletes.

On Friday 4th July, our Year 7, 8, and 9 girls' rounders teams made the long journey to compete in the GLT Rounders Tournament. Throughout the day, they displayed exemplary behaviour, teamwork, and effort. The Year 7 and 8 team secured a respectable 5th place, while our Year 9 team progressed to the next round and earned an impressive 3rd place finish. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the experience and gained valuable competitive insight, setting the standard for continued success next season.

Year 9 Sports Leaders

Our Year 9 Sports Leaders have had an excellent start to their leadership journey. They have shown great enthusiasm, inclusivity, and maturity while supporting a range of school and community events. Feedback from staff and visiting primary schools has been overwhelmingly positive, with both teachers and parents praising their leadership and professionalism. We are excited to see how they continue to grow in this role throughout the year.
