Junior House Hockey

On a freezing cold Wednesday afternoon Everett Y9 and 10 took to the Astro for the Junior tournament. With only 4 hockey players in the House we had to call on our rowers to make up the squad. Despite this we started strongly and drew our first game against Skipwith. Rory controlled things in the centre whilst solid defence from Josh and Chris snuffed out their attacks, Harry was a safe set of pads in goal, Will and Greg on the wings were always in the thick of it, playing through to James up front. Coming off the bench as the snow began to fall we had Matt and Oscar making valuable contributions to our other three games, narrow losses to Burr and Orchard were followed by a dogged end to end battle with Welsh, we were pleased to draw this game with the eventual winners of the competition. Despite coming 5^th, we played well in all the games, the points system counting against us, despite holding the first and third place teams of Welsh and Skipwith to goalless draws.

Headmasters Awards

In Junior and Senior chapel this week it was pleasing to see several pupils receive Certificate of Achievement Awards for Excellent Academic effort from the Headmaster. Austin Burnand, Darien Patel, Greg Cooke, Chris Baker, Jamie Mottram, Gus McCulloch, Anna Proctor, Kit Bowerin and Rose Parker were all deserving recipients. Well Done.

Progress review feedback - Everett lead the way!

The Headmaster has sifted and sorted through the last progress review data and ranked the pupils according to average effort and attainment. Pleasingly many Everett pupils ranked highly.

In Y9 top placing in the year to Darien Patel, closely followed by Austin Burnand in second, Charlie Ward and Marcus Colao both made the top 10. In Y10 Greg Cooke topped the year, with Chris Baker and Matthew Tse both in the top 10. In Y11 Jamie Mottram topped the year group with James Baker at 5^th. Y12 saw Peter Baker come 3^rd, whilst in Y13 Kit Bowerin came 5^th.

Many other pupils were well inside the top third, congratulations to all for their hard work and effort.
