This
year the Sports
Committee and
STEM committee joined forces
to develop the ‘NERDLETICS’
event (logo designed by Onkar
Riyat), which was held in the
upper gym on Friday 13th December 2019.
Nerdletics was designed as an inter-form
competition aimed at year 12 students to
test their STEM knowledge and sporting
skills in a tutor group battle. Each tutor
group nominated two of their brightest
and most sporting students to represent
them with prizes including £10 gift card
for Bronze Place, £15 gift card for Silver
Place and £20 gift card for Gold Place. The
students were challenged with buzzer
rounds, kick-up challenges, a cup-stacking
challenge, picture round, multiple choice
round and even a wheel barrow obstacle
race. The atmosphere was fun and exciting
as the competition heated up to reveal our
two winners Guy Boonyarakyotin and
Rhiannon Pateman 12W. The committees
came together with students in year 12 to
share a slice of cake and talk about their
passions…it’s not surprising that many
who took part in the event went on to join
committees themselves.

Football is a clear passion in our Sixth form and we were able to explore the talent at Cranford with this
event. It is one of the most popular and social pastimes yet as the pupils I discussed the event with stated ‘it’s
hard to organise a big event like this outside of school, it costs lots of money and everyone’s too busy with
schoolwork’. So what more perfect way than having a tournament after school, allowing the students to be
productive and full of endorphins when they study at home. This was aimed at reigniting the Sixth formers
passion for exercise, as it can be a difficult shift between GCSE to the more intense world of A Levels, where
sports may no longer be seen as a priority. We, as a Sports Committee are here to change this; the inter-form
was the first step towards our goal. The tournament was received enthusiastically and all the participants were
thankful and excited for more upcoming events.
We had several rounds and then it quickly reached the very intense finals between 12R and 12U. These are both
amazingly powerful teams, with great stamina and control throughout all of their games. In the end 12R won
the cup (well technically a box of Chocolates) with perfect finesse in the last few seconds of this heated match.
Overall, the Inter-form competition was an absolute success. Everyone was extremely supportive including
the lovely teachers that volunteered to supervise, the friends that came to watch and the participants. We have
planned several other events due to the positive feedback we received on this first Sixth form inter-form. We
aim to keep up the fun and emphasize the importance of sports at Cranford.
