Forty-two pupils in sports trip of a lifetime to the Real Madrid first team training ground

During the half term holiday, forty-two pupils have spent six days on a sports trip to the Spanish capital of Madrid. The trip consisted of four training sessions at the Real Madrid training ground being coached by some of the best academy coaches in the world. Pupils also had lunch in the training ground restaurant and on one of the sessions they were joined by the official team photographer of Real Madrid. The pupils also enjoyed six matches in Madrid, a training session at a local grassroots club, a walk around the parks of Madrid, a visit to a shopping centre and a meal in a city centre restaurant. The behaviour of the pupils was exemplary throughout the trip which impressed the staff and coaches of Real Madrid. This was a dream trip that pupils will never forget.

We have had the results from the Merseyside and Cheshire Engineering Leaders' Awards.

I am delighted to announce we have 14 category winners, with winners ranging from Year 3 to Year 10. We also had 10 highly commended entries. This is an extraordinary success.

There was a big turnout of boys last Saturday for a Chapter 8 House Rugby Competition. The boys were keen to perform well and win for their respective houses. Obviously, not every house was going to be a winner, but on the day every pupil was a winner by portraying a tremendous sporting spirit, getting stuck into action and supporting their house peers to do their best. The winning house was Butler's. 
The results:
Butler's - 50 points
Selwyn's - 36 points
School - 36 points
Howson's - 29 points
Brook's - 29 points
Howard's - 15 points

A Fantastic Weekend of Girls House Hockey

Last Saturday, a lovely sunny morning saw all the Chapter 7 girls participate in a House Hockey Competition on the Astro Turf. The girls quickly got involved in the action of the event with some quick flowing moves with the stick and ball and the goals flying into the net. It was fantastic to see the enthusiasm of the girls with many fist pumps after each goal and celebratory dances by the winning teams after every match. Although Selwyn's House were the eventual winners, it was a day to promote and celebrate House Sport Competitions, girls school sport, and the hockey in the City.

Boarders' DofE Adventure

This half term we have seen Subuhi and Isabella complete their overnight stay and expedition for their DofE Bronze award and Joseph for Silver!

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a fantastic program for all pupils. It gives them the opportunity to volunteer, increase fitness and develop a practical and social skill as well -  not just the expedition. I would like to recognise the extremely hard work and time they have given up to dedicate towards the award. 
Well done!

Mrs Latham (Head of Boarding)
