It has been a busy week with a great variety of sporting activities taking place.

Fencing
On Sunday 7th February five Lower School members of the fencing club took part in the Wiltshire Fencing Competition held in the sports hall. This was their first ever competition and they all performed admirably. Particular congratulations go to William Harding for his first place in the Under 12 Boys Foil.

Rifle Shooting
Two mixed teams of 5 also travelled to Marlborough College for two closely fought Rifle Shooting matches. The A team lost by a narrow margin of 6 points but the B team pulled off a victory. This was the first time our B Team have won against Marlborough, and a number of our younger shots are showing great promise for the future.
