2013-14 Highlights

With the new academic year just three weeks away, it seems appropriate to review last year's sporting, music and drama achievements and set some targets for 2014-15.
The Baldry Cup is the prize for the house scoring most points through the year for various house sport. The final standings for 2013/14 were
Orchard - 155
Skipwith - 125
Everett - 109
Burr - 73
Welsh - 61 

This shows a correlation between student numbers and success. There are plans afoot to make sure all houses can be competitive and therefore a more even contest is expected next year. 
The main successes for Skipwith were in winning Senior Tennis and Senior Cross-Country, whilst the Juniors won the Football and Hockey. The junior teams were generally more consistent across all sports, which is a good sign for the future! 

In the house drama and music, Skipwith gave admirable performances but finished in mid table. The amount of musical talent in house is inspirational however, and we aim for a strong showing next year. 

The target has to be to improve participation, achieve personal bests and enjoy all the activities. If we do that we can all be proud!

Below are some picture highlights from last year's events:
