Rounders and Athletics Update The rounders season continues apace! Last week, our Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 teams played matches against two schools. All four teams got off to a great start, winning their matches against Chapel-en-le-Frith High School. Later in the week they played Dronfield Henry Fanshawe School; Year 7, Year 9 (two teams) and Year 10 won their matches Year 8 lost by just 1 ½ rounders. Very well played to all teams! Meanwhile, our junior and inter girls and boys athletics teams competed in the first round of the English Schools Amateur Athletics competition. The teams performed well and finished the event with a creditable set of results. Our Junior and Inter Boys both took second place; our Junior Girls came third and our Inter Girls ended the event being awarded first place.

Earlier this week a group of Year 7 and Year 9 students visited Tarmac's Tunstead Quarry in Buxton. The students, who are studying the impact of quarrying as part of their geography course, were able to visit this historically important quarry to deepen their understanding of the subject. Quarry employees showed the students around the site and explained the processes carried out at Tunstead. The students had an excellent afternoon and have gained valuable insight into a key aspect of their geography course.
