Water Polo
On the last weekend of the school holidays, Alice travelled to Gloucester with her team to compete in the U17 Girls National Water Polo Finals.
Alice’s team, West London Penguin beat rivals Worthing in a convincing victory (11-5) on Saturday to secure a Grand Final match against Manchester on Sunday.
Despite digging deep and fighting hard against the more experienced team, the girls narrowly lost 10-8 to finish with the Silver medal.
An amazing achievement!
Although disappointed not to have won Gold, Alice is really proud of the team and the opportunity to play at such a high level, infront of a stadium crowd.
Congratulations Alice!
Football

Netball
Year 10 are heading to the Surrey Sports Park this Saturday, 27 April to take part in a netball coaching session to be delivered by Surrey Storm players on the main show court at the venue, a unique opportunity for our pupils. Following dinner, we will be watching Surrey Storm take on Manchester Thunder at 6pm – it should be a fantastic day of netball!
We have also noted that Surrey Storm are collecting donations of bags of kindness to donate to people battling cancer.
