We are really proud to celebrate the outstanding success of our Under 15 Boys’ Rugby team, who have triumphed in the prestigious Continental Tyres School Competition National Bowl. This remarkable achievement not only highlights the team’s talent and determination but also underscores the school’s commitment to fostering excellence in sports as a school competing at the highest levels.
On Thursday 6th February, the Year 7 girls’ sportshall athletics team attended the regional finals at Osterley Sports and Athletics Centre. As the girls won gold earlier at the Wandsworth championships, they raced through the rounds and came joint first overall with Godolphin and Latymer School, which means they qualify for the London finals in March - a huge congratulations to the squad.
On Wednesday 5th February, our top cross country runners (pictured) were selected to race at the prestigious London Schools’ cross country event at Wormwood Scrubs, where the top distance runners in London compete. There were some outstanding individual performances. In particular, Bea E (pictured right) in the Junior Girls category coming 7th overall and Jack H in the Senior Boys coming 8th overall. We anticipate that they will be selected to represent London at the English Schools’ cross country event. Well done to all.
Year 7 have been looking at the respiratory system. Last week they compared the structure of gills in fish with the structure of human lungs. Pupils were fascinated by the change in the gills between air and water.
On Friday 7th February, we held a ceilidh for staff and students in memory of Mr David Iannarelli, a much loved and missed former member of staff. It was a hugely fun and uplifting event. Students were enthusiastic in their praise: “It was life changing”, “The live band was my favourite bit”, “It was a great bonding experience bringing the whole Sixth Form together.” We are extremely grateful to the Friends who helped make the event possible by contributing half the cost of the live band.
Last week, Year 9 played against St Thomas the Apostle School in the South London Cup and had an excellent match, winning 4-2. Goals were scored by Kishon C (three) and Dylan G.
Year 7 have been working on an observational drawing project. Here is a very beautiful watercolour by Mia M. Well done Mia!
A huge well done to our fantastic group of Year 11 pupils who were an absolute credit to the school on our recent trip to the University of Cambridge.
Pupils had the opportunity to explore the stunning campus, taking in the rich history and inspiring surroundings of one of the world’s top universities. Either side of a hot lunch in the beautiful Robinson College dining hall, they attended talks with two recent Cambridge graduates. These sessions provided invaluable advice on preparing for interviews, exploring super-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities and what to expect from university life. Pupils also gained tailored guidance on activities and experiences that would strengthen their applications for courses they were interested in.
