OUT OF SCHOOL SUCCESS
Thomas Carter has made the Sussex U14 Boys County Hockey team this year. He has played in 6 matches so far against Surrey, Kent, London South, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire.
The remaining matches will completed by the end of May. This is a huge achievement for Thomas and is testament to the hard work that he has put in to a sport that he loves to play that he has earned his place in the team amongst a lot of boys who are privately educated, who play a lot of hockey at their schools.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Competing alongside Max, mentioned in a recent newsletter, Thomas (year 9) and his partner Julie (year 7) also represented the South East region in the UK Inter-Regional Acro Gymnastics Championships.
Here is a picture of them with their gold medals, helping the South East region to third place overall, behind Scotland and London.
