We have been very impressed with the attitude and effort our football teams have giv-
en this year. To celebrate this we decided to go and visit the home of football, Wembley Stadi-
um. We arrived and it was raining, but that did not dampen our spirits. During the tour we got
to lift the FA cup and walk out onto the pitch and sit in the changing room. It was very special to
stand and imagine what it is like to be an England player walking out for an international match.
We look forward to next season and remember, keep that fitness level up during the summer
break!

All 1st and 2nd Form girls were invited to attend rounders trials this summer.
The girls pictured above were the final squad that was selected. Girls were selected based
on their skills in both fielding, batting and in their tactical knowledge. The season has seen
some excellent competitive fixtures against local schools and they have all been played in
good spirit. Unfortunately due to some days being severe rain, a few fixture had to be
cancelled off, much to the disappointment to the girls. However, with lunchtime weekly
training and extra training in P.E. lessons the girls developed well as a squad, demonstrat-
ing particular strengths in fielding, with there batting skills progressing towards the end of
the season. The girls went on to be silver medallists in the end of season Enfield Borough
tournament, which was held at Winchmore school on the 29th of June.
The current 4th Form GCSE P.E. pupils were recently
away for the weekend in the Chiltern Hills, hill walking and camping,
in-order to complete the expedition section of their Duke of Edin-
burgh Award (D.of.E). The pupils are also using their Bronze D.of.E
Award to count towards part of their GCSE P.E. practical grade. Numerous members of 4th Form took part, the pupils
worked extremely hard using their map reading skills along with being mentally and physically challenged. The weather was glorious,
allowing pupils to enjoy the fun and relaxation time in the evening at
Braid Wood campsite.
Lords Cricket England Vs Sri Lanka

Boys Boxing In boxing this year the progress the pupils have made
is remarkable. Every pupil who participated was willing to spar
using body shots and some using head shots, especially when
sparring with me. It has been really exciting to see the develop-
ment and at the end of the sessions we attended the profes-
sional boxing club Edmonton Eagles. This was an excellent op-
portunity for the pupils to train in a ring with Christopher
Evangelou who has won seven out of seven pro fights.
In June the 1st Form cricket team paid a visit to
Lord's cricket ground to watch the 4th day of England
versus Sri Lanka.
The 1st session was washed but this gave the
pupils a great opportunity to go autograph hunting. They
were able to meet players such as Alistair Cook, Ian Bell
and England captain Andrew Strass.
We were fortunate enough to see some good
cricket action in the afternoon with England taking 7
wickets in under 3 hours.
The boys had a wonderful time and the experi-
ence rubbed off in their own performance, defeating
Lochinver House in a rain affected match 2 days later!
Reported by Mr. Russell
I got to do some pad work with Christopher which was great
for the pupils to see as he is very talented and demonstrates excellent
technique. Next year we will be training at the club to develop skills in
a ring.

Sports day 2011 was a huge success, with numerous medals awarded and many records broken.
The morning sessions involved all pupils participating in two field events out of: long jump, shot putt, discuss
and javelin. The afternoon held a range of track events from sprints to long distance. Tug of war and crick-
et ball throw were also well attended. The overall house winners for sports day were the ‘Moles’. Con-
