They had a full day of very competitive pool games and a win in extra time in the semi-final, with a final against Putney High, winning 8-3. What a fantastic achievement for this squad.

🙏Thank you to all the staff and parents for their support.

    Well done to the U19A Netball team for an absolutely amazing end to the season and for many their school Netball careers. The team were crowned ISNC National Champs on Friday and followed it up by taking the Sisters in Sport National title today. The girls showed such strength of character to win both the semi and final by golden goal. Well done to all the players & Mrs Wates, Mrs Titmuss- Morris, Mr Burgess for all the hard work this season!

    We had a fantastic day with top physiologist Dr Emma Ross from @thewell_hq, (a consultancy service dedicated to women’s health) to talk to Years 7 to 13 about enhancing their sporting performance. 

As 64% of girls give up sports after puberty (aged 16/17), Emma’s talks were largely aimed at @berkhamstedgirls, teaching them how to maximise their performance around their menstrual cycle and physical anatomy. 

The presentation taught our youngest year groups about how to eat, train and dress around the menstruation cycle, female anatomy, and female hormones. To emphasise the seriousness of the topic, Emma discussed examples of women who had to stop competing in sports professionally because of the lack of awareness around female health and sport. 

Afterwards, Emma spoke to male and female Sixth Form Captains for a Sports Scholar Workshop, where students learned how to enhance their performance. 

Hearing the expertise of Emma and the Well HQ team ensured that pupils’ physical and emotional experiences of their bodies don’t hold them back from being active, enjoying exercise or participating in sports to their best ability.

    Clearly an academically driven department, it’s refreshing to meet the Head of Sixth, Martin Walker, and hear that the students get the support and encouragement to find and follow their own path whatever that may be – from setting up their own business or doing an apprenticeship.

    The school delivers on its motto of ‘Developing Remarkable People’ – students are notably engaging and enjoy taking part in everything the school has to offer.
