Celebrating Another Week of Success
This week’s celebration assembly showcased the incredible achievements, both inside and outside the classroom, of our talented children.
Outstanding Performances and Sports Success
The assembly began with a warm welcome from Mr. Butt, who commended everyone on their hard work and accomplishments throughout the week. Aoife W. set a delightful tone with a stunning violin performance of March Me to the Graveyard by Bach, which captivated the audience.
Mr. Hodgkins, our Director of Sport, highlighted recent sporting triumphs, starting with our exhilarating victory at the Winterfold Tournament. The competition was decided by a tense penalty shootout that required nine penalties to determine the winner!
Additionally, Mr. Hodgkins celebrated our swimmers, who emerged victorious at the KSA swimming gala, outperforming RGS The Grange and KSA. To conclude, the “Most Improved Rugby Player of the Season” medal was awarded to George P-W for his dedication and progress.
