It was a successful weekend for both our Show Jumping and Dressage teams, with impressive performances across two competitions.
On Friday, the Show Jumping team of Ruby, Daniel, Jake and CJ secured an excellent 2nd place finish in the penultimate round of the Interschools Show Jumping League at The Meadows Equestrian Centre. Having demonstrated consistency and competitiveness throughout the league, the team is now looking forward to this week's final with confidence.
On Sunday, the Dressage team of Lizzy, Isla and Emily enjoyed outstanding success at Gransha Equestrian Centre, where they claimed 1st place overall. The riders also achieved remarkable individual results, with Lizzy winning her Prelim class, Isla taking 2nd place, and Emily securing victory in the Novice class.
Congratulations to all the riders on their exceptional achievements, and best of luck to the Show Jumping team in the league final.

Our Year 11 Construction class recently took part in a Construction Skills Bootcamp at CITB Northern Ireland, where they gained valuable hands-on experience across a range of construction trades. Throughout the programme, students developed practical skills in bricklaying, joinery, painting and decorating, and tiling while working alongside industry professionals. The bootcamp provided an excellent opportunity to explore career pathways within the construction sector, while building confidence and developing key technical skills. This experience offered a real insight into the construction industry and helped prepare students for future education, training and employment opportunities.
