On 1 March, the cross country club travelled to Leeds to compete in the English Schools National Cup final. The pinnacle of team racing, all of the best schools in the country were in attendance. The senior team performed bravely despite injury and came 15th overall; with the intermediate team coming 16th overall. It was a great experience and our runners are even more determined to do better next year. Good sports In January, our U14 and U16 badminton teams competed against Woodgreen and Magdalen College School (MCS). The U16 team secured a victory over Woodgreen but narrowly missed out against MCS. The U14 team won their age group with an impressive nine victories out of 10!
