High levels of discipline ensure everyone is expected to work hard and make a positive contribution to the learning environment.

Year 8 Cricket – Kent Cup Round 3 What a journey it's been! Our Y8 cricket lads travelled to Maidstone Grammar (last year's semi-finalists) hoping to make it 3 wins on the bounce and grab a spot in the QFs Bowling first for the first time this season, the boys came out flying MGS were 11-5 after 4 overs thanks to some top bowling from ZB and AW Things got even better at 21-6 after 6! But credit to their No.7 who smashed a brilliant 60 and helped MGS recover to 119 all out in 19.2 overs. A proper fightback from them Unfortunately, our batting never really got going Their openers bowled well and a few rash shots meant we were all out for 22. Not the ending we hoped for – but what a season it's been! POTM: Everyone! You've made the school proud. Reaching Round 3 in our first ever Kent Cup run is an amazing achievement Heads held high, we go again next year!
Year 9s are through to the final! What. A. Game. Our Year 9 boys took on St John Fisher this week with a place in the cup final on the lineand they did not disappoint! A flying start saw us 2-0 up in the first half thanks to NA's tidy finish in the box and an absolute screamer from LW who lobbed the keeper from 30 yards out! SJF came back strong and levelled it at 2-2... but our lads showed real grit, stayed composed, and then turned it all the way up. Tactical genius from Mr Halsey and an unreal performance from MM (FOUR goals! ) helped the boys storm to a 6-2 win! Proud is an understatement. These lads are flying the school flag high! Next stop: the final vs Victory Academy. Let's bring it home boys!
