National Lacrosse Championships 2025

Success at the National Lacrosse Championships We were thrilled to...

🏑 Exciting News! 🏑

A huge congratulations to our Head of Girls’ Hockey, Tennis & Rounders and Teacher of PE, Mrs Alford-Swift, on her selection for the Wales O40s Masters squad for the 2024/25 cycle! 

This incredible achievement will see her take part in:

-A training camp in Gibraltar over Easter
-The European Championships in Valencia this June, competing against top teams like The Netherlands, Germany, Spain & Czech Republic
-The Home Nations in Glasgow this August

After battling through two serious injuries and surgeries in the past three years, returning to this level in her first full season back is a true testament to her resilience—one of our School’s core values! 

We couldn’t be prouder—best of luck, Mrs Alford-Swift! We’re all behind you!
