Our new quiz team, Erin Campbell, Marie Wood, Emma Fox and Isabel Hardman are currently reading their first quiz book, The Boy in the Suit by James Fox. In a couple of weeks they will be quizzed on the contents of the book along side some general book related knowledge questions in the first round of the Cheshire Schools’ Book Quiz and we wish them the best of luck.

Former student – Team GB kayaking

Former student Michael Rose has secured a place in the Team GB Freestyle Kayaking Team once again. Having only started the sport a few years ago, the progress he has made is outstanding and will travel to Finland to compete next year in what will be his final year in the Junior category.

Tae Kwon Do

Following years of training, Grace Baker in Year 9 successfully passed a grading on Saturday and is now a first Dan black belt in Tae Kwon Do. The grading consisted of demonstrating a range of patterns and techniques, answering a range of questions and semi-contact ‘kickboxing’ style sparring in front of six senior black belts from across the country. Well done on all your hard work Grace. A brilliant achievement. 

Swimming

Late weekend Brontë in Year 7 participated in a swimming gala at Brio Leisure in Northwich. She won a gold medal in butterfly and silver in free style. Brilliant achievement Brontë!

Karate

Mark Thompson in Year 8  competed in the Welsh Open karate championships on Sunday and won a gold medal!

Well done Mark – it is great to see all your hard work is paying off!
