u12 rugby team crowned champions!
The U12 Rugby team have had a fantastic season which has culminated in being Crowned Sussex U12 Rugby Champions.
The team have won 18 out of 19 fixtures this season and managed to beat a very strong Cardinal Newman team 20-10 in the final.
The boys involved have been committed to training throughout the year and have a squad of 22, something that bodes well for the future. Even more remarkable is the fact that in the starting 12 only 5 players have played Rugby before joining Warden Park in September. Most boys have now joined the local rugby club, Haywards Heath which is great for school and club. Many of the boys also play for our football and basketball teams and have "converted" those skills into the disciplines required for playing Rugby.
The team have beaten Brighton College, Stringer, Tanbridge House, Hurstpierpoint College, Downlands and Shoreham en route to the County final. Captain for this year Dylan B has been extremely physical in the forward pack along with Liam C and Tom O'D. The backs have used the pace and agility of Oliver J, Charlie C, Evan D, Kallen C, Matthew R and Austin H. Pulling the strings between the forwards and the backs were brother Kit and Raffi Merchant along side Noah B. Louie B and Charlie D were both outstanding in the forward line especially at the break down.
The boys are looking forward to more Rugby next year and looking to regain their crown.

Year seven geography students developing their teamwork and communication skills this week by taking part in a “diagrams from memory“ activity.
Students had to work as a team to recreate a diagram showing relief rainfall from memory. The quality of their final pieces was very strong including accurate labels to show geographical processes.
