We are delighted to have raised £11,500 from our sponsored walk on our Health and Wellbeing Day. This money will be used for wellbeing and environmental projects which student councils are now working on.

Young carers are children and young people under 18 who take on caring tasks and responsibilities within their family that most of us only do as adults. The term does not apply to the everyday and occasional help around the home that may often be expected of or given by children in families.

Well done to our Year 10 A team who won their recent tournament. They won all their matches against our own B team (3-2), Kennet School (3-2) and The Willink School (4-1). In the final they played Theale Green, winning 4-1.

On Wednesday 29 September St Bart’s took part in the first round of the national U16 girls’ football cup. 

We played at home against Kennet School. It was a close and exciting game that we managed to win 3-2! 

Erin Cahoon was awarded player of the match for scoring an amazing goal securing the win. 

Annabel recently trialled for Surrey Storm netball academy and we wanted to share her exciting news that she has been selected to join the U17 Surrey Storm Academy. Well done Annabel we are really proud of you.

St Bart’s narrowly lost to both Park House School and The Downs School in the first round of the floodlit league. All the players involved gave their all and Mr Fry was extremely proud of the overall display as 13 players from the 16 man squad had never played a competitive rugby game before!

Congratulations to Bella in Year 11 who, following trials, has been selected to play for the Berkshire SFA Under 16 County girls’ football team. Well done Bella we are really proud of you.

On Tuesday 5 October we held our Key Stage 3 awards evening. It was a wonderful event where students, families and staff were able to celebrate their achievements together. Congratulations to all the students; we look forward to celebrating your further and future success at the end of KS4!

The Year 10 Sports Leaders have made an excellent start to their Sports Leaders course. They were excellent Ambassadors at the recent Open Evening for PE where they helped to organise and lead the activities and they also helped with the House cross country. Well done to you all, a great start to the course!

The school 1st XV played Park House in their first league fixture, narrowly losing 21-28. Even with eight of the usual starting line up unavailable due to injury, St Bart's took a squad of 25 players, all of whom played at least a third of the match, and everyone made a very strong account of themselves.

Players of the match were Seb and Lukasz.
