We are delighted to share an update on Y9 Layla’s recent gymnastics achievements, including her impressive international debut representing Great Britain in Dresden, Germany.
At her first international assignment representing Great Britain at a competition in Dresden, Germany, Layla helped Team GB secure a bronze team medal. She also finished 9th in the All-Around and was the highest-scoring gymnast for Great Britain, achieving this while still recovering from a sprained knee sustained a couple of weeks earlier.
Over the past few months, Layla has also become the South East FIG Aspire All-Around Champion at the Regional Championships and the Aspire All-Around Champion at the Sandra Clarke Challenge Cup, where she also won gold on Bars, Beam and Floor.
In June/July, Isabella and I had the amazing opportunity to trial for Brentford academy Under-16s. The trial process was extremely competitive, with around 600 girls trialling for just 20 places in the final squad. As Year 10 students, we are also playing a year above our age group, which makes the achievement even more special.
There were four difficult trial stages, and throughout the process we had to show our ability, determination, and teamwork. After putting in a lot of hard work, we were incredibly proud to find out that we had both made the squad!
Well done to the Y7's that showed up for their first Cross Country run of the term this morning. We look forward to seeing you again next week
On Saturday 9th May the U14 and U16 tennis players competed in a National Schools Tennis Tournament in Wycombe. Here is the match report for the U14A’s written by Sophie W:
Laura and I played really well today, beating a lot of highly competitive players. Our communication was fantastic throughout the tournament. Sadly, we lost in the quarterfinals to the 3rd seeds. Although the final score was 6-1, almost every single game went to deuce and was incredibly close. The weather was absolutely beautiful, which made the day even better. We both thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Isabella M played for the ISFA England U14 football team vs Wales last weekend.
The England team won 7-1 and Isabella scored 2 goals for them. At the end of the match, they presented the girls with a cap for representing their country in an international match. Well done Isabella
