Throughout the Summer and into the Autumn, our sporting students have been working incredibly hard behind the scenes and away from school life.
A considerable number of students represent clubs and districts throughout the calendar year and there are a number who go on to gain recognition at academy, county, regional, professional club and national level. We are delighted to share the success of those students as we head into the second half of the Michaelmas term.
Emily at the U15 England Schools National Athletics Championships
In athletics we rewind back to the start of the summer holidays where Ethan Mudahy and Emily Cadman competed in the English Schools national finals in Manchester. Ethan performed superbly in the 100m and took 4th place in the relay team event. Emily stole the show however with a gold medal, 1st place finish in the 200m and was crowned the English School’s national champion.
Daniel Horgan placed 4th in the 800m at the Youth Development League with Theo Tredwell and Tom Ravenscroft both enjoying mini marathon success, finishing first in different age categories at 2 separate events.
