If all was as normal Saturday 20th June 2020 would have seen the school compete for the House athletics shield, a highlight of the school year. Unfortunately, this was not to be and instead the pupils were given the task of competing in the very first Virtual Sports Day. There were six events: the standing…

The IAPS National swimming results have been published, with the placings taken from the preliminary rounds which took place all over the country in January, February and March. Vinehall Swim Squad had some great results, with the Year 8 Boys finishing in the top 10 overall. The top results were: Lucas M      …

The girls are thoroughly enjoying trying different sports with social distance. Lacrosse skills work was so popular that they did it twice. They also tried their hands at golf on Thursday, which was great fun.

It wouldn’t be a match report if we didn’t mention the weather. The good thing about virtual cricket is matches cannot be cancelled and the video clips were made in glorious sunshine. Unlike this Wednesday’s weather, when it would be an actual match day at school and what did we have … rain! Typical! After…

It was by no means the perfect start but it did end up being the perfect ending. The group rounds kicked off and Vinehall were slow off the mark. They lost to Eagle House 2-4 and then Dulwich 4-9. Captain Milly D and Vice-Captain Freda H regrouped the girls and encouraged them to work hard…

With nearly 100 hockey matches, 80 football matches, two gym competitions, three swimming galas, 25 rugby matches and 20 netball matches, weekly PE and swimming lessons from Nursery through to Year…

The team travelled to Cumnor House on Saturday for what proved to be a fantastic start to the rugby season.  With everyone at the tournament having had limited time to prepare, we used the matches as a sort of training/pre-season exercise.  Understandably the team took a while to get going; however they got stronger and…

Group round played four and won four. After a few more lessons tweaking parts of their game for this tournament, the girls were prepared and ready to go.  They stamped their intentions straight away and played with determination throughout the tournament.  The first match against Holmewood House was polished and the first goal came from…
