Students’ Summer Achievements

While the summer holidays provide an opportunity to rest and recuperate, it’s also a perfect time to put more into your interests and hobbies. Three students have been doing just that.

During the first week of the summer holidays, Olive (11C1) swam at the Swim England National Summer Meet in Sheffield. She qualified for three events – the 50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke. Olive had 3 great swims and she made the finals in two of her events finishing 10th overall in her age group for the 100m breaststoke and 7th in the 200m. She also achieved new personal best times in these distances. Overall it was a very successful first National level competition! Congratulations Olive.

Congratulations also to Jessie (10C1) who was selected for an U15 England Football National Camp in the summer holidays. This was a huge achievement and Jessie thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The hard work and sacrifice she’s shown for so many years is paying off!

We’ve reported in the past about Harry’s (8C2) promising DJ career. This summer Harry played festivals such as Boardmasters and Carfest, and made celebrity DJ contacts such as Chase & Status and Judge Jules. He opened Reading Pride and finished the summer playing at a Newbury festival. Well done Harry!
