The District Badminton Report

The U16 boys’ badminton team competed in the District badminton championship at the start of December, playing a mixture of singles and doubles matches and only losing one game throughout the evening. The team are to be congratulated on finishing runners up, missing out on gold by only 3 points.

Next term we will be holding our inter-house badminton competition for students in Years 8, 9 and 10. Please watch out for information on how to enter.

The October half term football tour to Holland

During October half term 49 students took part in a football tour to Holland. The students spent a week training, playing matches against Dutch opposition, taking part in activities such as laser tag & swimming and finishing the week competing against other British schools also in Holland. All of the teams played exceptionally well. The U13 boys finished 2nd in their tournament and the U14 boys finished 3rd. The girls played 3 Dutch clubs and won all of their fixtures while we were away.

Year 8 Boys’ Rugby

The Year 8 boys’ rugby team remain unbeaten this season so far having played Simon Balle School, Goffs Academy & Chauncy School in the District League. They also won the Cheshunt Rugby Club Year 8 tournament earlier this month. There are 3 schools left to play in the district and we will keep you updated on their progress.

Girls’ Rugby

The Year 8 girls went unbeaten at the Hertford Rugby Club invitational tournament in November with 2 wins and 2 draws, making them the most successful school to attend the event.

Passport to Sport

This half term we have awarded our first bronze passport to sport awards to M Baker & D Mowlem. This award recognises commitment to extra curricular PE clubs and anyone in Year 7 can take part. The girls have participated in 15 sports sessions to achieve this award and are now working towards the silver level award. If any student wishes to start to participate, it’s not too late – just collect a card from your PE teacher.

Next half term (Jan-Feb) the sports summary will include:
