Tag Rugby Event for Year 8s

Many thanks to the year 13 pupils from Kings of Wessex who travelled to us and organised a mixed tag tournament for over 50 year 8 pupils.

It was great to catch up with Rosa, Lucy and William and pleasing to see that their love of sport has not diminished and they are enjoying sharing this with the wider community. The tournament was fabulously run with all of the pupils active and engaged throughout. There was some excellent rugby with Millie, Olivia, Meghan, Bo and Poppy all playing exceptionally well for their teams. Although it was a highly competitive event it was great to see a large number of our pupils playing and conducting themselves in the right manner. I know the leaders really appreciated it. Henry O, Frankie, Noah B and Oliver M were some of the many pupils who were a credit to themselves and the school. Bennie was rightly crowned player of the tournament and he encompassed all that is good about sport and competition. He did all he could to win each game but never left out his team mates and found time to show respect and compassion to the opposition. An absolute pleasure to be around.

Best of luck to the A level pupils on the final stages of their assessment.
