District Squad 2024/25
Arthur L and Louie G (Year5) were offered places in the Stevenage District Football Squad for 24/25. Jack M and Rocco R both made it to the final week and narrowly missed out on a place.
All the boys from AH that attended the trials were a credit to the school. They faced up to 5 weeks of trials plus some of the finalists were entered into a tournament (where they were watched by the coaches). There are 1,400 boys and girls in their age group in the District, of which 70 boys/girls started out at the trials and this went down over the weeks to 13 in the final squad.
This is an incredible achievement - well done!
Annabel is very proud to have achieved her Bronze Swimming Challenge this week from Swim England. She has been swimming since she was 12 weeks old and it continues to be one of her favourite hobbies. Congratulations!
Huge congratulations to Mark who following a recent grading, has been promoted from orange to green belt in karate. Well done, Mark! Keep up the hard!
Alice-Lilly in Year 3 performed in &Julliet at the weekend with The Everett Academy and she did an amazing job! Well done, superstar!
Penelope 5W performed in the Everett Academy show on Saturday and Sunday playing a main part as Hamlet, a male part who she played exceptionally well.
They completed 4 shows in two days. Penelope’s character was the brother of another Almond Hill pupil's character. They played the part so well together and we are all very proud of her confidence.
Ava (3W) also took part in &Juliet at the weekend - this her 3rd musical theatre show! She did all 4 shows and was in a number of dances with other Almond Hill students and her siblings. Fantastic job, Ava!
