Tom Pierce, Director of Sport
Welcome to another Super Saturday of Berkhamsted School Sport. We are very excited to host Seaford College for Rugby for this fantastic day of School Sport. We have 27 teams playing from Berkhamsted in both home and away fixtures! To have this vast amount of participation is so integral to our Sporting programme and I wish every team the very best of luck.
As our Michaelmas term starts to take shape it has been so exciting to see so many pupils getting so much out of Sport at Berkhamsted. I am a huge fan of the School Value of “Aim High with integrity”, and I think the below quote sits very closely aligned to this. Good luck to all who are competing today and do trust that you have all the tools to succeed!
“You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits.”

Head Injuries & Concussion
Concussion is a complex process caused by trauma that transmits force to the brain either directly or indirectly and results in temporary impairment of brain function. Its development and resolution are rapid and spontaneous. Ultimately if you are unsure at any stage if a player has a head injury or is concussed you should seek medical attention. Listed below are some of the possible signs of concussion.
Headaches - It is only normal after a blow to the head to suffer a mild headache. There could be some bruising or mild swelling over the scalp which may be tender, but this doesn’t necessarily mean a player has concussion. If the headache seems to be getting worse this could be a cause for concern so seek medical attention.
Drowsiness - Means they cannot be roused. It can be common for players to want to sleep for a short time (especially children), and it will be okay to let them do so. If there are further concerns you can wake them a few times during the night, especially if a knock on the head has happened just before bedtime. If, on the other
hand, they are difficult to wake or show signs of confusion, seek medical attention.
Other Symptoms - Confusion, unsteadiness, memory loss and convulsiveness.
If players show any signs of the above they should seek medical attention. These are merely guidelines as you know your student better than anyone else, but please remember signs and symptoms could take up to 48 hours to develop and should be monitored.
Berkhamsted School takes all head injuries seriously and all members of PE staff are First Aid trained and follow the RFU Headcase protocol if a student sustains a head injury. In serious cases students would be referred to a local hospital (listed at the beginning of the programme) as they would with any other serious injury.
