SPORTING TRIUMPHS Pupil Charlie Eshelby swam for Suffolk at the National Inter-County event at Sheffield and helped Suffolk gain promotion from Division 2 into Division 1 after they came third of the 18 counties in their division! Football Our Year 10 football team won not one, but two matches in the Western Area League, with matches against Stowmarket and Thurston ending in a 1-0 defeat! The team played two challenging games in a row, but worked very hard on both. This put us in a very strong position to qualify for the finals! Man of the match was Tom Hudson our goalkeeper. Cross Country On Thursday 16th October Samuel Ward took 41 pupils to take part in the Suffolk schools Cross Country Competition at The Royal Hospital School in Ipswich.
