Pupils represent NE Surrey at the Surrey School Athletics Championships

A number of Claremont pupils represented NE Surrey at the Surrey School Athletics Championships. Congratulations to Lucas D, who for the second-year running was crowned junior boys javelin champion with a throw of 45m 47cm. Well done to Genna L who came second in the 75m hurdles.

We are pleased to announce Lucas has been selected to represent Surrey at the English School Championships.

Harlequins Stoop winners

Well done to Nico W and Lucas D whose team won the Surrey U14s final at the Harlequins Stoop.

Lucas and Nico are part of the Esher Rugby Club A team and they played Battersea Ironsides at the Harlequins Stoop ground. It was a thrillingly close game but we are pleased to say they won 12-10! Lucas got the first try which was exciting. Nico had a super weaving lengthy run past lots of players (a Nico trademark all season) to set up the second and winning try.
