Well done to the Rugby boys putting in the work in S&C across the year groups this week! 🏉🏋️ They learned Hinge and Row movements from Kettlebell Swings to Romanian Deadlifts and Barbell Rows this session - perfect for hitting their rucks!

This was the first time the School has qualified for the Nationals and the only Senior Boys team from Warwickshire to do so this year. The boys all ran brilliantly in brutal conditions, they should all be proud of their achievement!

Our Senior Boys are underway at the ESAA National Team Cross Country Championships at Princethorpe. An extremely challenging 5.1km course awaits. Go well boys, you've done us proud!

The U13C 🏉 team had a great match today vs Bablake Bs, where they recovered from 0-20 down at half time to finish a very respectable 20-35. You could see the growth in confidence as the game went on. PoM Suvir S for some excellent dominant tackles. Tries from Noah R, Noah J, Eddie B & Vincent W.

Clean sweep for the senior hockey teams; 1st XI W3-2 vs Bablake 1s PoM Alex W 2nd XI W6-0 vs Bablake 2s PoM Jefferson T-V 1st XI Girls W4-2 vs KEHS PoM Emma P Well played all squads 🏑

Our first home indoor Ultimate Frisbee fixtures have just finished. After taking a 3-0 lead against an athletic Lawrence Sheriff side, our U20s eventually lost 11-5. Our MVP was Ben B with 3 assists. Our U17s trailed 2-0 and 7-4 but surged back to take the win 10-9. MVP was Arihant S with 7 assists.

And congratulations to three of our 4 teams who qualified for the Regional Finals after finishing as Winners (U13) and Runners Up (U19 & U16). What an outstanding achievement at our first attempt. Well done to all of you! #KEStabletennis

Hockey Tour's final day and we headed to Central Amsterdam for an interesting canal tour cruise.

Away from the pitch, the senior hockey tour have gelled over nominating a "donut of the day" and holding kangaroo court. Evening entertainment has included bowling, quiz night and culminated with tour awards. Categories included "best dressed", Pancake Kampioen", Sleeping Beauty" and Tour MVP".

An absolutely fabulous way to finish the tour with 2 mixed teams putting in a shift for each other with the 1s stepping up to lead superbly. Gayton's Monsters W3-2 and Modhi's Bulls L2-8 PoMs Jenna & Holly. Team spirit and enjoyment maxed out. Massive thanks to HC Barneveld for exceptional hosting.

1s Win 7-0 PoM Tommy 2s Lose 2-9 PoM Ben. Another great set of team performances from the whole squad. Thanks to HC Apeldorn for hosting.

Some women's division one action as Rotterdam take on Den Bosch. Fully worthwhile experience with Mr Lanoe challenging pupils to apply 2 learning points in this afternoon's fixture having watched the professionals. Great to see the locals kids on the pitch at half time too!

Great day starting with a valuable coaching session at Kampong followed by competitive fixtures at HC Culemborg. 1s win 5-2 PoM Laura and 2s draw 0-0 PoM Joe. Both brilliant experiences and great to see squad uniting.

Apologies, Arihant has claimed the title with a belly-busting 9. No dinner required tonight!

Students deciding to skip breakfast and jog up and down the canal vindicated as James crowned Pancake King with 7. Fuel for the elite sportsman engine!

Landed safely. Now off to the This Is Holland Experience followed by a Pancake Canal Cruise (eat as much as you like/can!?)

29 students and 3 staff have all wearily got through check in and security and are now ready to board our flight to Amsterdam. Hockey Tour here we come! 🏑🌷🇳🇱🛫
