This academic year has been packed with energy, determination and team spirit, as pupils across the school have thrown themselves into a fantastic range of sporting opportunities. From football festivals to national finals, there’s been no shortage of talent, enthusiasm and achievement.
This year, the PE curriculum was enriched with the introduction of Hockey Week. Pupils benefited from expert coaching delivered by players from Southgate Hockey Club, whose infectious enthusiasm and technical guidance helped build both skills and confidence on the pitch. Another highlight was the Netball Festival, held in collaboration with SPARKS Netball Club. Over 80 pupils from seven local state and independent schools joined us for a day celebrating competitive spirit, sportsmanship and netball excellence.
We were proud to see two of our athletes represent Haringey in the London Youth Games Cross Country Finals—an outstanding achievement and a testament to their perseverance and commitment. In another exciting cross-country event, pupils participated in the U9 UCS Cross Country Race among 43 competitors, with strong performances from our Year 3 and Year 4 representatives, achieving top-three finishes and showcasing determination across the field. In addition, our pupils also showed endurance and enthusiasm beyond the school grounds, with 25 participating in the Mini Marathon, each crossing the iconic finish line with pride.
Swimming also provided cause for celebration, as one of our pupils reached the national finals of the IAPS Swimming Heats, which took place at the London Aquatics Centre in June. She placed 8th in the country—an incredible accomplishment reflecting commitment and talent.
Football continued to be a major success across the Junior School. The U11 squad reclaimed their title at the P4S Tournament at St George’s Park, being crowned champions for a second consecutive year. We also hosted our inaugural Year 3/4 Football Festival, with teams placing second and third respectively, and enjoyed our Year 3 Football Afternoon, developed in partnership with ActiveFootball, which inspired wider participation and enthusiasm for the sport. As part of Football Week, we participated in the national initiative “The Biggest Ever Football Session,” during which pupils and staff donned football shirts to celebrate girls’ football. The week concluded with a spirited Staff vs Sports Leaders match, with the staff claiming a 2–0 victory, rounding off the celebration in high spirits.
The school’s netball success continued as our Year 5 squad brought home the trophy from the U10 SHHS Netball Tournament, demonstrating excellent teamwork, resilience and sportsmanship throughout.
Our gymnastics programme made exciting strides this year, with pupils in Year 4 taking part in their first competitive fixture against St Mary’s. Furthermore, the school hosted its inaugural joint Senior and Junior Dance, Cheer and Gymnastics Showcase—a vibrant and high-energy celebration of creative movement and physical expression.
Watersports made a welcome return in the Summer Term. Pupils embraced the opportunity to develop kayaking and canoeing skills at West Reservoir, enjoying the combination of physical challenge and outdoor adventure.
We were pleased to expand our curriculum further with the introduction of Pickleball and Handball in the Summer Term. These new sports have provided yet more avenues for pupils to explore different forms of movement and teamwork.
With so many highlights this year, we are incredibly proud of the dedication and enthusiasm demonstrated by all our pupils. We also extend our sincere thanks to the staff, coaches and visiting professionals who supported and inspired such positive sporting experiences. We look forward to building on this success in the year ahead.
Junior Duke Award
This year, pupils from Reception all the way up to Year 6 have once again been afforded the opportunity to participate in the Mini and Junior Duke Awards, consisting of ten challenges that promote life skills, independence and responsibility.
Participating pupils have enjoyed enhancing their numeracy and literacy skills, as well as developing their independence across the year. Pupils in Reception pursued the Bronze ‘Micro Duke’ Award, Year 1 pupils took on the ‘Silver Mini’ Award, and girls in Year 2 worked towards the ‘Gold Mini’ Award.
Older pupils in Years 3 to 6 have continued to build on these achievements by tackling progressively more challenging awards. Year 3 took on the ‘Bronze Junior Duke’ Award, Year 4 the ‘Silver Junior Duke’ Award, Year 5 tackled the ‘Gold Junior Duke’ Award, and finally Year 6 completed the ‘Platinum Junior Duke’ Award.
Pupils have been challenged to complete the tasks at home, providing an optional extra-curricular opportunity. We have been delighted by the effort the girls have put into completing their awards and have relished celebrating their achievements in meetings throughout the year.
