A fantastic achievement for our U13, U14, U15, and U16 Netball teams, who have all qualified for the Surrey Finals after successfully navigating the preliminary rounds. The U13 and U15 teams were undefeated in their qualifiers, a remarkable testament to their skill and determination. Competing against other Surrey schools — with U14, U15, and U16 in October, and U13 in February — each team has secured a spot among the top 12 schools in the county for their age group. We are incredibly proud of their commitment, teamwork, and perseverance as they look forward to representing WHS at the Finals at Shirley High School in March.

Congratulations to our U14 swimmers on an outstanding performance in the GDST Swimming Competition, finishing an impressive 3rd overall. Competing against strong opposition, they demonstrated remarkable determination, skill, and teamwork throughout the event, and we are immensely proud of their achievement. A special well done to Issy B, Freia H-T, Emmeline E, and Emma H, who were instrumental in helping the team secure 3rd place overall. Particular congratulations to Emma H, who earned a silver medal in the 50m Butterfly, and to Emmeline Eales, who swam up several year groups to complete the team — a fantastic testament to their commitment and versatility.

A huge congratulations to our U16 Hockey Team, who reached the National Plate Semi Finals following excellent performances against Kent College (3–2), Lancing College (5–0) and Hurstpierpoint College (3–2) in the Quarter Final. Although their campaign concluded this week against Kingswood, their success in advancing so far in a national competition is a remarkable achievement, and we are extremely proud of their commitment and spirit.

We are incredibly proud that several of our students have been selected for GDST Select Teams this term, with WHS strongly represented across Football, Hockey, Netball and Cricket — a wonderful testament to their talent, dedication and hard work.
