attainment on the Award scheme. In each school age group (Year 1 and upwards)

Congratulations to our bowling team, Lucy & Emily Adlam, Ria Banitas & Billie
Phillpot, in winning the competition for the 5th consecutive time.
Olympic Gymnastics, London 2012
We have just enjoyed two more fantastic days with our top 100 gymnasts.
We were fortunate enough to take our oldest gymnasts to the Olympic Qualifying
gymnastics competitions in the O2 arena on the 16th & 17th January.
We had the best seats in the arena and watched the best of the world compete
for their Olympic places.
We look forward with anticipation to putting some of the highlights learned
into routines for our Arts Competition on the 24th March.
Our sincere commiserations go to the British team, who missed out on
places at London 2012 by less than three tenths of a mark, just a couple
of errors from achieving their life's dream.

sympathy & understanding at the Cenotaph,
rounded off with the Lord Mayor's Fireworks on the Thames.
Add excellent behaviour all day, very kind weather and superb parent help.
