A huge congratulations to Thomas in Year 11 who has qualified for the Swimming Nationals this summer and has jetted off for an international training camp to sharpen his skills!
And success doesn’t stop there for Thomas as he has also been selected to represent Great Britain in the Under-17 Biathle (Run-Swim-Run) team, competing later this year in Turkey.
Thomas and his parents would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Mrs Cornish, who first taught him to swim and has supported his journey every step of the way through school swimming. They also extend a thank you to the HGS PE department for always being so supportive and encouraging of Thomas.
We couldn’t be prouder. Go Thomas!

HGS students who have so determinedly run 5K every Wednesday afternoon since April were rewarded for their efforts with a trip to Greenhead Park and an ice cream yesterday.
Whilst the running was optional this week, the camaraderie and high spirits remained!
The group have been working to beat their lap times each session, and their dedication has been very impressive.
We hope they have enjoyed the challenge and that they continue to reap the rewards that running outside brings. Well done all!
