Sport
The Senior girls were delighted to win the House Hockey competition this year: their excellent hockey skills and ability to work together as a team made them fully deserving of winning the House Pots trophy. Queen’s also had a very successful House Netball competition, with our Juniors winning overall and our Seniors coming runners up to Westal. Throughout the competition we displayed excellent determination and team spirit, which was definitely prominent on the court. In the Spring

Term, we competed in the House Swimming competition, which resulted in the House claiming first place for the Seniors and runners up for the Juniors. Some exceptional athletic ability was shown throughout the House on Sports Day, with Queen’s winning four cups: the Junior and Senior trophies for the second year running and special congratulations go to AnneMarie Bowring (U6) and Megan Knight (3rd) who were both awarded individual trophies for their outstanding performances.
HOUSES
Children’s Hospice Trust, organised by Alicia Burd (L6). Rose Jones (5th) ran the Bath Half Marathon in support of a multiple sclerosis charity over Easter. Jess Ottley-Woodd (U6) was pivotal in organising the Upper College Charity Ball and the Valentines’ chocolates for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) in February and she also ran a five kilometre mud run in July to raise over £1000 for the fight against breast cancer. Additionally, there were many individual achievements outside school that we are very proud of. These include: Rose Jones (5th) for making history for College by winning the U16 Girls’ Doubles Rackets Championship; Alicia Lee (L6) for winning her dressage competition; Meg Knight (3rd) for going to the National Finals with Hucclecote Netball Team; and, of course the indomitable Sophie Morton (3rd) for becoming national champion of the England Boxing Schools and Minors Championship; she’ll soon be training with Team GB!
