ST DAVID’S BEATS GOLIATHS

St David’s College Year 8 and 9 girls’ rugby teams shone at the world’s largest Schools’ Sevens tournament. The prestigious Rosslyn Park National Schools Sevens in London has been held every year since 1939, originally a knock-out for public schools that was extended to include grammar, comprehensive and preparatory schools.

It was a David and Goliath tournament, as St Davids was pooled with other schools fielding huge numbers. The girls narrowly lost against Seaford College but were victorious against Oakham and Wellington Schools, under expert guidance of their coach, former Wales international Jess Kavanagh

Rydal Penrhos School is delighted to announce the appointment of Tom Hutchinson to the position of principal from September 2023. Mr Hutchinson, currently principal at St Edwards Church of England Academy in Leek, brings a wealth of relevant and impressive experience in teaching and inspiring children, and managing schools with similar values to those of Rydal Penrhos. He is also an Inspector of Anglican and Methodist Schools.

Mr Hutchinson is a keen supporter of sport, coaching and acting as safeguarding lead at Anselmians RFC.

QUEEN’S CELEBRATES THE KING

The Queen’s Lower School in Chester celebrated the King’s Coronation with a red, white and blue themed garden party. Every girl in the Lower and Senior schools was given a commemorative badge from the Parents’ Association to keep as a memento of this very special occasion.

The sun was shining as the girls enjoyed a picnic complete with bunting and music, and shared their knowledge about the new King. A book was also circulated for them to write their own messages of goodwill to King Charles.
