Surrey Youth Fencing Championships

The Surrey Youth Fencing Championships  took place on 14 January. It is very exciting that seven fencers from our Senior School and 5 from our Prep School are all training on the team. Jack K, Yoojoo K, Arabella F, William H, Eleanor G, William N, Jagger C, Max B, and Peter S all competed for team Claremont and did really well. The next event is the South East Regionals which is the qualifier for the British Championships. Good luck to Yoojoo K and Arabella F as the look to qualify.

Congratulations to our Lacrosse teams!

On Thursday the 25th, Claremont Lacrosse competed in the U13A and U14A County tournament at Caterham. On Wednesday the 31st Claremont Lacrosse was selected to compete in the U15 South Schools Tournament which brings the best schools in south together to compete. Claremont beat out Berko, St Swithun’s, St Paul’s, and Queen Anne’s to make it to the semi-final. It was a tough 2-1 loss to Guildford High School, but the girls played very well and set Claremont in brilliant stead for nationals.

Running Cross Country

The Eagle House cross country is an annual event that has a strong following. The ‘highlight’ of the event is a hill, nicknamed, ‘the killer’ which is extremely steep but thankfully short. However, it is always the talking point for every pupil taking part and completing the race. This year there were 14 schools attending with some 700 pupils from 8-13 years old. With school’s such as Cranleigh attending the quality of competition is always high. The senior school entered 4 teams, Yr 7 boys and girls and yr 8 boys and girls.

In near perfect conditions, the performances of our pupils were excellent. From the regular competitors to Eve M who stepped in at the very last minute due to illness all the pupils competed to the very best of their ability. Despite the exhaustion at the end, they all came away smiling and very proud their achievements.

As a school our results were excellent with both the Yr 7 and Yr 8 boys teams coming second overall. Individually we had even more success with Tom G-S coming second in the Yr 7 boys event, Eloise P coming second in the Yr 8 girls event and Hector F winning the Yr 8 boys event.

Smashing it at Table Tennis

Nothing but Net
