Congratulations to our Prep school ESSA relay team, 5th fastest small school in the country! Having qualified for the national final, that was held at the prestigious Pond Forge International Sports Centre, Sheffield. The team lead by our very able team captain Frederica year 7, Elodie, Phoebe, Felix all three of the latter are year 5, An impressive achievement as most of the pupils competing in this final were year 6 age. The heats went very well and the team secured themselves a spot in the final. After a short break the final began, with lots of excitement and just a few nerves the team were determined to rise to the occasion. In what was a very fast, competitive heat, that saw the ESSA Freestyle record being broken, the team fought hard all the way to the end resulting in an impressive 5th place. The school and parents alike are extremely proud of these four swimmers, most of who were competing in a national final for the second weekend in a row. The parents/ supporters need a special mention as they have supported this team right from the start of their journey back in March through to the final in June, they were also the loudest cheering the team on through every round of this competition.
