SPORTS SPORT UPDATE by Mr Marriott, Director of Sport The Summer term has brought a term of firsts for sport at MVS. We have had our first set of competitive fixtures against other schools, National School Sports Week, and the inaugural sports day. It has been fantastic to see the Pupils proudly represent the school and do so with passion in their own and teammate’s performances. Pupils competed against Kew House School, Eaton Square and Wetherby across cricket and tennis. The highlight of the term was without a doubt the U14 cricket performance against Eaton Square. It was a team batting performance where everyone chipped in to accumulate a total of 78 runs. They then rallied with a great bowling performance to restrict Eaton Square to 62 runs. Isaac, Rudi, Lyndon and Alexey regularly picked up wickets to keep their batsmen at bay. National School Sports Week was a huge opportunity to celebrate Sport at MVS and challenge Pupils to get involved in different way than they may typically do so. Over the week Pupils took part in PT sports challenges, sports quizzes and the week finished with Sports Day. Pupils should be commended on engagement and enthusiasm across the whole week. Sports day proved to be a great occasion for Pupils, Parents, and Teachers alike. It was great to see Pupils competing hard and the huge support for all the athletes on show from the stands. Pupils competed to set the school records for years to come, as well as contributing to their tutor group in the inter-PT group competition. Well done to Ms Proctor’s tutor group who just pipped Ms Begum to the win. 11
