Welcome to 2022-2023!

Written by Miss Nicholas

As the end of another busy term draws to the end I am filled with so much pride in what our students are achieving in sport This Sports Report is brimmed with good news and pupil achievements

In November it was announced that we made it into the top 20 Girls Schools for cricket in the The Cricketer Schools Guide 2023’ We’ve have also run several residential sports trips Year 8, 9 and Sixth Form all had weekend netball tournaments at Condover Hall in Shropshire, gaining excellent success

Our Year 9 Hockey Team travelled to Newcastle to attend the newly restarted Year 9 GDST Hockey Tournament coming an impressive 4th out of 12 teams!

The biggest shout out success from me though must go to the Barbados Sports Tour which after being rescheduled twice, finally happened in October! I promised the students when they signed up that it would be a trip that would create memories for a lifetime I was so glad when they got back and confirmed that this had been true Do take the time to read the great article about this on page 5

All in all, I would sum up that I feel incredibly proud of everything the students have achieved and feel extremely grateful to the PE department and all our excellent external coaches for supporting them in reaching their own personal goals and ambitions As I am sure you are aware this is the last Sports Report I will write at NHEHS as I am moving on at Christmas I have honestly had a wonderful 6 years working with all the students When I came to the school I very much had a vision that I wanted every student to have a sport they enjoyed, no matter the level I also wanted those who found their talents in sport to feel supported and recognised that they could pursue their dreams to the highest of levels I do think this has been achieved and thank all the students for being with me on this crazy Journey!

I wish all staff, parents, and students a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year

Over and Out!
