The supported and the students enjoyed this highlight was the Year 9’s who battled a fierce contest in freezing cold conditions to end in a sport, which for some was their first draw. In doing so they raised £104 for experience of archery. C h i l d r e n i n N e e d . Over the winter the number of boys participating in Rugby increased and we now field teams in each year group. The Year 7 and 8 teams should be commended for their commitment to training, and already both teams have recorded convincing victories over other schools.

Our thanks go to the Alton and Four Marks Archery Club for their time. TENNIS CLUB We will be running an after school Tennis Club every Friday from 3:30pm to 4:30pm.
