Ben Harris - 1st XI Cricket Captain and 1st XV Rugby Ben joined the School in Year 12 on a Sports & Science scholarship and has represented the School at both 1st XI Cricket and 1st XV Rugby. Ben represented Bucks CB U17 and Bucks County Rugby U18 in 2019. Ben was awarded the Arkwright Engineering Scholarship whilst at the School and has done all of this whilst studying 3 A levels (Maths, Physics & Chemistry). He plans on studying Chemical Engineering at Nottingham University next year.
“‘I had a range of options and
attended a Berkhamsted Open Day without any previous preferences on which School to choose. Immediately after my first conversation with the sports staff I was excited by the number of unique opportunities including fixtures against top Schools and a tour to Sri Lanka.’ The best part of the cricket scholarship opportunities are the weekly 1 to 1 coaching sessions with Mr Campbell which I had never had before and helped improve my batting a lot by focusing on certain technical aspects. One of the big challenges with being a cricket scholar is there are a lot of cricket commitments around exams and the university application process.The School also take these very seriously which is good because they help you plan your time around both the sporting opportunities and academic commitments.”
