It’s been a busy and exciting week of sport across the school, with pupils from multiple year groups showcasing their skills, teamwork and determination in a variety of fixtures.
Under 11A Team Win Caterham Football Tournament
Last Saturday, our Under 11A football team achieved an incredible victory at the Caterham Tournament — especially impressive given they had just returned from a busy week in Snowdon!
After finishing second in their group stage, the boys faced a tense semi-final against Caterham, which ended 0–0 before they held their nerve to win on penalties. The final proved equally dramatic, with another goalless draw followed by a superb penalty shootout victory.
It was a fantastic display of determination, teamwork, and resilience — congratulations to the whole team!
Year 6 Girls Advance to Surrey Cup Semi-Finals
On Tuesday, our Year 6 girls’ football team faced Claremont in the Surrey Cup quarter-finals. The match began with a steady start as the girls adapted to the physicality of a strong opposition. Despite several shooting opportunities in the first half, we were unable to convert.
In the second half, the team stepped up their game, showing greater strength in possession and tackling. Annabel capitalised on a goal kick, intercepting and scoring with confidence. Claremont pushed hard for an equaliser, but Winnie W’s outstanding goalkeeping kept our lead intact. A brilliant passage of play from defence saw Noe K take her chance and score a second goal, securing the win. A fantastic team effort - well done girls, and good luck in the semi-finals!
U8 Girls Shine in Hockey at Hazelwood
Also on Tuesday, our U8 girls took part in hockey matches at Hazelwood School. The teams demonstrated excellent teamwork, working hard in both attack and defence. After taking on half-time advice, the girls showed noticeable improvement in their passing and carrying skills. A brilliant effort from everyone involved!
Year 5 & 6 Girls Impress in Colts Hockey vs Lingfield
On Wednesday, Year 5 and 6 girls joined forces for Colts hockey matches against Lingfield. The girls showed great determination, meeting the ball early and winning tackles. By using the wings effectively, they created numerous shooting opportunities, resulting in plenty of goals. A fantastic team performance - well done all!
Year 3 Boys Enjoy Football Afternoon with Aberdour
Thursday afternoon saw our Year 3 football teams welcome Aberdour for a friendly fixture. Both teams worked hard for each other, making strong tackles and looking to pass into space. A great afternoon of football - well done boys!
U10 & U11 Swimmers Make a Splash in First Fixture
On Tuesday, our U10 and U11 swimmers took part in their first fixture of the year, competing against Caterham alongside Year 7 and 8 students from RGS. The atmosphere was electric as swimmers gave their all in both individual and relay events, showing determination, teamwork and sportsmanship.
It was inspiring to see familiar faces in the RGS squad and to watch older students in action. Many thanks to Mr Maxwell and RGS for organising the event. The scores were close, with Caterham securing a narrow win - a commendable effort from all involved!
