Another Fifteen Chosen

The first half of the Summer term has flown by, and the half term heralded a new Headmaster’s XV. This sporting achievement recognises fifteen pupils who have been exemplary in their sport over the previous weeks, displaying a commitment and ardour that is incredibly impressive.

Players from different teams across the board compete for the award, regardless of whether the sport played is cricket, tennis or rounders.

The Headmaster’s XV differs from other sporting awards, in that it is not based on sporting prowess alone; rather, the award takes into account the devotion and hard work that the pupils have shown.

Once names have been put forward by team coaches, Director of Sport Mr James Gaunt finalises the decision, saying that this term ‘students have approached summer sports with such enthusiasm and passion and it has been wonderful to witness: an incredibly close call this time round and we are all proud of the commitment shown to sports and training. We’re looking forward to the success that comes with that.’
