COMPETITIONS

This year in the Sports Department, we have thrived on getting back out on the courts, fields, and track to enjoy all those things we missed so much. We have been able to compete once again, against other schools, we have enjoyed playing sports we were restricted in playing and we have been able to compete at elite level; challenging our most able pupils. We have enjoyed trips to Wembley to watch the Woman’s FA Cup final, Top Golf, Surrey University for workshops with Surrey Storm’s Felisitus Kwangwa and the Surrey Human Performance Institute, Effingham Cricket Club and Effingham Golf Club. We have introduced new Manor House School sports camps, which kicked off with Cricket and Athletics at Easter and continue with a pre-season Netball camp in August. We have celebrated so many team and individual achievements throughout the year, including our U12’s coming 3rd and our U13’s and U15’s coming 2nd in their District Netball, U13’s coming 1st and 2nd in their District Cricket, our intermediate Athletics team winning District Athletics by an unbelievable margin and both our junior and intermediate Athletics teams qualifying and coming 3rd overall in the ESAA regional finals. We are beyond proud of the some of the achievements we have witnessed and been apart of this year and we look forward to continuing to build on them next year.
