All the girls who took part in the House Swimming Gala had a fantastic time representing their House, culminating in some impressive results and a memorable display of effort and sportsmanship.

It was rewarding to see the progress of all competitors, from our ‘lifers’ who started swimming in Year 1 to the newcomers assessed just this week. The enthusiasm was clear, particularly from pupils like Ebi, who showed Kings’pirational spirit for Crick by tackling the challenging butterfly stroke when no one else in her House could! Her performance embodied the spirit of “Do everything with a smile, even when it’s hard!”

Congratulations to Parker and Whiston who came joint first in the girls’ event. When combined with the boys’ results, Parker secured the overall first place! We look forward to seeing how the Houses fare in the Year 3-6 and Senior School swimming galas later in the academic year.
