Football has also flourished. In 1999 the team competed in the inaugural national Prep Schools Championships and finished fourth. They also won the prestigious Charterhouse Tournament for the second consecutive season.
Girls’ games have gone from strength to strength and from the humble beginnings of 1990 we now see Netball teams which regularly win Regional honours and compete at national level. The same can be said for Rounders where the school has produced six England players in the last four years. Alexandra Danson went on to represent England in Netball and Rounders!
In Athletics eleven pupils have reached National Finals in the last two years and in the summer of 2000 Christina Carding became British U13 record holder in both Discus and Shot.
The Chess teams dominate the local leagues and are making their mark in the national Tournaments. Matthew Elstrop, Sam Williams and Christopher Gee have all played for England and in 2000 every member of the Under 11 chess team was also a county player. |
