Sports report

As with Sports Day, winning is about consistency and making sure you fill all the lanes, maximising your team’s points haul. There were several swimmers who put themselves in races they knew they could not win, just to earn their team points. This was just as pleasing to see as some of the high-quality swimming that was on display from some of our pupils.

Highlights of the afternoon included some superb performances from Year 6’s Beatrice, who took 3 individual golds, as did Nicky, who’s performance in the 25m butterfly was arguably the best technical swim of the gala. She took 3 golds and a relay gold in total. In the boys’ races Humphrey Boland took gold in the 50m freestyle and 25m butterfly before winning a third gold in the freestyle relay. Year 9’s Olly claimed firsts in three individual events, as did Leo who won the senior freestyle, fly and breaststroke.

When all the races had been finished the points were tallied up and the overall house results were as follows:

1st Place: Langham 356 pts

2nd Place: Devonshire 319 pts

3rd Place: Cavendish 269 pts

4th Place: Wigmore 268 pts

Congratulations to Langham who were comfortable winners in the end. However, all the pupils that attended should be very proud of their efforts, whatever their results!
