Y9 and Y10 pupils were competing all over the country (and internationally) for a wide range of sports. We are incredibly proud of their results which are a true reflection of their mahi, dedication and discipline.

One of the Institute of Sport’s aims is to increase the motivation of players and develop their tactical and strategic thinking along with skill/fitness development. We think this snippet of results shows how the programme continues to support our high achieving sports people.
