What a term this has been!

Written by Miss Nicholas

We hoped that after restrictions were lifted for September 2021 we would return to fixtures with a ‘bang’, and the Autumn Term has not disappointed! From a record number of positive results at netball tournaments, to the U18 hockey team getting to National Finals, to hearing about the incredible GDST Day of Dance at Base Studios I have found myself on a Friday standing up in staff briefing again and again with a beam on my face, sharing the incredible achievements pupils have made

It isn’t just the wins either, the number of pupils at sports clubs has continued to be high and I am proud not only of the breadth of teams we have (we have 85 different teams in total!), but also with the breadth of clubs we provide; there have been 13 different sports represented this term alone!

There is no doubt that many students will ready for a rest this Christmas This is much deserved after 215 fixtures over that period!

I would like to wish all students and our extremely supportive parent body a wonderful Christmas, and with a number of exciting tournaments and competitions awaiting us next term, I cannot wait to see what 2022 will bring!
