British Schools Pistol Shooting Championships
Mon 28 Nov 2022Three of our pupils -Ferris, Lulu and Liv- had a great experience on Friday at Leweston School where they were competing in the South West England qualifier for the British Shooting Schools Pistol Championships.
There were 88 entrants in the Junior section; Liv (6ILH) achieved 31st place overall and came 3rd in year 6.
Lulu (7JA) gained 14th place overall and came 3rd in year 7. Ferris (8KA) missed out on the direct elimination round by 2 points, but achieved a respectable 10th place overall and 7th in his year group.
It was a great achievement for the HSMS Team to come 4th against some much bigger schools; well done Ferris, Lulu and Liv.

KS2 Rugby vs Fairlands
Thu 24 Nov 2022On the 17th of November a number of Year 5 and 6 pupils travelled to Fairlands to compete in two matches: tag rugby for the year 5s and contact rugby for the year 6s. In the year 5 match Sexeys started really well with tries from William and George giving Sexeys the start we wanted. Over in the year 6 match it looked very competitive and even between the two teams. William and Jack both had very good starts to the game. At half time it's too close to decide who’s winning in either game with both schools putting up good performances.
After half time both games were exciting to watch. The year 5 game was end to end play, with Alfie putting on a great show. However, Fairlands had the better second half and won the game overallo.
Over in the year 6 match both teams gave it their all and the final score was a 7-7 draw.
All the players put 100% into the games which were a great watch. Thanks to Fairlands school for hosting us.

Hockey Development Day at Millfield
Thu 24 Nov 2022It was great to be able to meet with other schools across Somerset for a day of hockey after a long break due to Covid. The year 8 girls have all been incredibly
reliable at club on a Thursday and this was a good reward for their hard work .
Captained beautifully by Tilly C the girls played well against 6 other schools. This was a non-competitive event - an opportunity to play hockey on the immaculate pitches at Millfield .
Inspiring performances from all : Chloe and Katie who both proved very reliable sweepers .
Attack was strong from Iris, Sayba and Sophia . Gracie and Hattie were fast on the wing and Mara, Amelie , Leila and Honey solid as midfielders and Goalkeeper.
The girls won Four , drew one and lost one - not that we were counting!
Thank you to Hayley at SASP for the organisation.

Hugh Sexey Remembers
Wed 16 Nov 2022Thank you to all the pupils, staff and special guests who joined us today for our Service of Remembrance. I am always amazed by the respect the pupils show for the event and how supportive and proud they all are of their classmates who take an active role in the service. Special recognition goes out to our musicians (Sebastian, Oscar and Parker), to the girls who wrote and performed a poem recognising the service of their tutor group’s VC award recipient (Lily Rose and Tabby), and to the Combined Cadet Force (Ferris, Aidan, Daxie, Oliver, Connor, Alex, Finley and Erin) who proudly paraded our First World War banner around our cenotaph. We were treated to a small RAF vintage aircraft flypast of two aircraft at the close of the service – thank you to Mr Mike Laundy, former parent). We are also very proud of Georgiana and Ben who represented HSMS at the WLT Service of Remembrance and who did a lovely reading. For any of our school community who are unable to attend a Remembrance Service this weekend and would wish to, today’s assembly has been uploaded and you welcome partake in your own moment of reflection.

Bottoms- Up Rugby at Millfield
Mon 14 Nov 2022On the 9th of November Hugh Sexeys travelled to Millfield School which was hosting a bottoms up Rugby competition to inspire people to join rugby clubs. The games that were played consisted of both tag games and some contact rugby. We had two teams who played in the competition. Both teams did really well in every game, and although some games were very challenging, all the boys did themselves proud.
Ted had a fantastic day, scoring lots of tries and helping his team drive forward to victory. On the other team, Marley also had a brilliant day and scored some amazing tries, helping his team play some top rugby. Overall the day went really well and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you to all the boys and Millfield for putting on a really fun day!

Schools' Shooting Championships - Wales
Thu 10 Nov 2022Last week Ferris (8KA) and Liv (6ILH) competed in the Welsh School's Pistol Shooting Championship where they attained very respectable scores.
The Welsh Championships were a completely new experience for them, with hi-tech equipment in place of the paper targets they are used to. They had to shoot into light boxes in a line-up of 24 competitors. After 20 shots Liv achieved a score of 131 and Ferris 154 which put him in 3rd place and a 'shoot out' with the 8 highest scoring shooters. 2 shots each under command and the lowest score sat out, Ferris finished in 6th place overall.
The next competition is the South West Champs on Friday 25th November. Lulu (7JA) will join Ferris and Liv for this event so that they can enter as a School team as well as individuals.
We wish all three of them good luck.

Year 4 Girls' Football Festival - Wedmore Astro pitches
Thu 10 Nov 2022It was great to be able to utilise the fantastic resource at Wedmore. Thank you so much for allowing this to happen - Matt Coggins.
Our sports leaders travelled by minibus and were soon met with participants from Wedmore, Weare, East Brent and Mark first schools. Six players at any one time from each school and it was soon clear we had some very keen young players , obviously inspired by the Lionesses earlier this year.
Sports leaders took on the roles of referees, coaches, and administrators. They played their part with kindness and maturity.
It was quite professional to watch the young girls play under floodlights.
Some close matches and some impressive goalkeeping .
Final Result
4th Mark School
3rd Wedmore School
2nd Weare School
1st East Brent
Thank you to all for their support and encouragement.
