Lower School battle it out One Thursday lunch break in May, the Sports Centre hosted a table tennis and water polo competition for Lower School tutor groups. 1F and 2C each won 1st place in table tennis; with 1M and 2H coming 1st in water polo. Rowing Well done to our J14 and J15 A and B crews who qualified into the finals of the National Schools Regatta in May, securing a spot within the top 6 schools in the country. The nail-biting J15 B final, which saw the crew neck and neck with Radley, and both teams being awarded a Gold medal, was a particular highlight. Congratulations also to the J14 A crew at the Marlow Regatta who won in their category. Both performances resulted in our 1st VIII prequalifying for the Henley Royal Regatta but 2023 was not to be our year and the team lost out on day one to a strong Hampton team. Congratulations to our school golf team who entered, and won, the School’s Golf Frilford Heath Invitational Tournament held in April. A particular mention to Edward (left) who was also victorious in the individual competitions as well. Golf
