At the National Schools’ Lacrosse Championships, our teams performed exceptionally, finishing among the top 16 in the country, with our U13s crowned National Champions. We run a full and ambitious training programme alongside an extensive fixtures calendar. Regular Saturday matches are a key part of our performance pathway and enable our teams to compete at the highest level. Our netball programme is equally strong. Both our U12 and U13 teams won the Surrey County Tournament, and we field multiple squads across every age group. At U14, U16 and Senior level, our teams continue to achieve success at both regional and national competitions, and our 1st Team was recently crowned GDST Champions.
