Social at St. George's!

Boys on one side - girls on the other! Early days!

The new building - nearly done!

Time for a catch up

I have been very slack at updating the blog this term so it is time for a catch up. It has been so busy that it is difficult to know where to start.

Over the holidays several projects were carried out. We now have three new dormitories for the youngest boys and I am thrilled with them. The boys seem to love them as well although the current lack of curtains has not been ideal. That should be completed by the end of this weekend though. The redevelopment of the courtyard in the middle of the school is very nearly complete. It really has transformed that area. I will post an updated photograph later today.

The term has started very well. On the academic side the two Eton scholars performed very well although they just missed out on an award. We heard yesterday that our Winchester candidate was safely through and the rest of the CE candidates all completed their French Listening, French Oral and Maths Listening this week.

The magnificent weather at the start of term has been perfect for cricket. There have been some good performances throughout the school with plenty of boys making good runs and taking plenty of wickets. The 1st XI were robbed of a victory on Wednesday because of the rain but will hopefully get another chance today against Brockhurst.

The athletics team have got off to a flying start. Already this term they have recorded wins against Hall Grove, Bishopsgate and Ludgrove. The senior Victor Ludorum looks set to be a very exciting competition on Sports Day.

So a busy start. Not long now until Common Entrance so lots of work to do. Updates will be much more regular from now on.

New Astro Turf

Very exciting!

Catch up

The last two weeks have epitomised everything that is so good about Sunningdale.

On the sporting front we have seen wins against Ludgrove and Dorset House on the rugby field, superb cross country performances and excellent fives matches. The two performances of 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' were resounding successes involving every boy in the school. On top of this, four boys competed in the UK Maths Challenge and finished in second place, narrowly beaten by boys from St. Paul's school in London who were in the year above.

The boys have all been busy doing different things and doing them very well indeed.
