A huge thank you to everyone involved in sport this year and in particular to the PE department who have worked tirelessly to create such a successful programme.
James Emmitt, Director of PE and Sport

Cricket
The U15 side are through to the semi-final of the Kent Plate after a last ball win versus King’s Canterbury. Michael Jacob hit 15 off the last over.
Fencing
Sophie Rayment was placed fifth for Under 13 girls sabre at the England Youth Fencing Championships in Hertfordshire.
Golf
Our team of Tom Harrison, Max Delchar and Ed Chambers finished third out of 11 at the ISGA Matchplay Plate National Final at Magnolia Park near Oxford.
Multisports
The Lower School multisports group completed a 5k run on Friday without stopping. This is an incredible achievement for a group of boys who previously were disillusioned by sport.
