The atmosphere was fantastic and the sports hall was packed with supporters who saw a friendly, competitive match with the teachers taking a narrow win.

Congratulations to Ashwin (Year 7) on winning the best All-rounder for U11’s at the Yorkshire cricket board awards ceremony at Headingley and Katie (Year 9) on her selection to the Yorkshire Cricket Club’s U13 performance team.

Brownlee Triathlon

Hymers once again hosted the Brownlee Foundation Junior Triathlon in May.

The course looked incredible - it snaked from our pool, to a bike circuit and then a run track.

The event is for Key Stage 2 pupils who were required to swim 50m in the pool, cycle 800m on the grass and run 300m before receiving a goody bag at the finish line to recognise their achievements. Well done to all children who took part!

Our U12 boys also performed well and won the HMC Sixes U12 final.

Hymers beat St Peters in a thrilling match to take the shield. Well done to Charles, Ashwin, Henry, Tyler, Olly, Albert and Sam!

British Youth Fencing Championships England IS Development Squad for Hugo

Over the May Bank Holiday weekend the British Youth Fencing Championships took place at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield.

This is a major National Championships held over three days and involving hundreds of young fencers who have all qualified to take part through Regional events.

Oliver, Andrew, Tom and Befreen performed extremely well and enjoyed their experience.

Following his selection for the Yorkshire and North East Independent schools team after his fantastic attitude and performances for our Hymers College football team, Hugo played in a three day tournament at Shrewsbury School, captaining one of the games.

The Festival was also treated as a trial for the England Independent Schools U14 squad and Hugo has been successful in being chosen for the England IS Development Squad!

Students from Year 7 to Year 10 and Year 12 took part in the Enrichment Week; an opportunity to experience a range of activities, trips and adventures that sit, for the most part, outside of the school curriculum, but that support their personal or academic development just as much as being in timetabled lessons.
