Rugby Star Joins Scarborough College and Scarborough RUFC

Scarborough College and Scarborough RUFC are delighted to announce that former England international Ben Foden has joined both organisations in a dual role as Director of Rugby at Scarborough College and Head Coach at Scarborough RUFC.

Foden, a distinguished figure in world rugby, brings a wealth of elite-level experience. His impressive career includes 34 England caps, a Premiership title with Northampton Saints, and a successful spell with Rugby United New York in Major League Rugby.

At Scarborough College, Foden will lead the school’s rugby programme, inspiring young players and developing excellence on and off the pitch. Simultaneously, as Head Coach at Scarborough RUFC, he will aim to build on the excellent work of the current coaching team whilst bringing a new perspective by drawing on his vast professional experience. 

Guy Emmett, Headmaster of Scarborough College, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Ben Foden to Scarborough College. His experience at the highest levels of international rugby will be invaluable, not only in further raising the standard of our rugby programme but also in inspiring our students to aim high and develop a winning mindset. Ben’s leadership and commitment to excellence align perfectly with the College’s values, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact he will have both on and off the field.

“I’d also like to thank Dan Scargill, Recruitment Director at ICE Education, for all his help with this appointment. I’ve worked with Dan for a number of years who does such an amazing job of supporting sports appointments in independent schools.

Dan Scargill said: “From the outset our ambition was to raise the profile of Rugby at Scarborough College and Scarborough Rugby Club. By appointing Ben Foden in this dual role, it will create new recruitment, coaching and pathway opportunities for rugby players at both the college and rugby club. This is a high profile and very exciting and forward thinking appointment that will help shape the landscape of rugby in Scarborough.

“I am delighted to get this deal done and would like to thank everyone who made this happen.”, 

Graeme Young, CEO of Scarborough RUFC, echoed Mr Emmett’s words, saying: “Bringing Ben Foden on board as Head Coach is a very exciting moment for Scarborough RUFC. His experience at the very top of the game will assist greatly in developing our players and deepening our culture of encouraging as many people as possible to play and enjoy rugby. We look forward to working closely with him as we enter this exciting new chapter.”

Current SRUFC Head Coach and Yorkshire U18s Boys Head Coach, Matty Jones will form part of Ben’s coaching team at both the rugby club and Scarborough College. 

Ben Foden said: “I’m incredibly excited to be joining Scarborough College and Scarborough RUFC. It’s a fantastic opportunity to help shape the future of rugby at both the school and the club. I can’t wait to get started and work with the talented players and staff to create something special. I’m also looking forward to working with Matty Jones who will be a great addition to the Scarborough College coaching team.”

This landmark appointment signals a bold new chapter for both Scarborough College and Scarborough RUFC as they look to build a lasting legacy of success. For more information about Rugby at Scarborough College, visit our sports page

Headmaster’s Update 14 March 2025

Headmasters Welcome 140325

As we approach the end of term, life at College has been more dynamic than ever, with a wealth of academic, artistic, and sporting achievements to celebrate.

Our now annual student-led TEDx event took place on 7 March, centred around the thought-provoking theme of Identity Crisis. The event showcased an array of outstanding talks delivered by both students and staff. I extend my congratulations to the organising committee, led by Year 13 students Sophia and Toby, and supported by Ms Cooke. We eagerly anticipate next year’s instalment.

This week, students from Reception to Year 13 have embraced British Science Week, engaging in a range of hands-on scientific activities – from explosive cans to rat dissections. The enthusiasm and participation have been impressive, thanks in large part to the dedication of our student-led STEM committee. I thank Mrs Harvey and the entire science department for their organisation and support.

In Performing Arts, we have been delighted to welcome the LAMDA external adjudicators, who are assessing the talents of our drama students over two days. Under the expert guidance of Mrs Pears and Ms Galway, our students have been focused and well prepared, and we look forward to another year of outstanding results. Meanwhile, our Year 11 Drama students have recently completed their GCSE Drama Practicals, producing work of an exceptional standard. Their hard work will undoubtedly serve them well as they enter the rest of the exam season.

Our musicians achieved almost unbelievable success at the Eskdale Festival of the Arts, with an impressive 29 first-place awards. This accomplishment is a testament to the dedication of Mr Richardson, Mr Garfitt, and Mrs Leason, whose commitment continues to nurture musical talents within our school community.

On the sports field, our teams have delivered outstanding performances across netball, rugby, hockey and in individual areas such as equestrian and squash. A particular highlight has been the U13 Rugby 7s team, who triumphed in the Terrington 7s, defeating teams from across the UK, including Merchiston Castle School and Sedbergh. Their success, along with excellent showings from our U18 and U15 Rugby 7s squads, provides a strong foundation as we prepare for the upcoming Rosslyn Park International 7s Tournament later this month.

Our Boys’ 1st XI Hockey team has demonstrated true skill and determination, securing victories over Sedbergh and RGS Newcastle in the IHSC competition to reach the quarter-finals. The U16s have also reached Tier 1 national quarter final, having defeated The Perse School 4-2!

Finally, on a personal note, I am pleased to extend a warm welcome to Ms Katy O’Connor, who has recently joined us as my new PA. As a parent within our school community, Katy already has a deep understanding of College life, and we are delighted to have her as part of our administrative team.

Eskdale Diaries 2025

Each year, our talented musical students attend the Eskdale Festival of the Arts. The festival is held in Whitby and is one of the largest gatherings for school musicians in the region. Mr  Richardson, Coordinator of Junior Music, organised the College’s attendance at the event, and has written the following blog about the experience and our outstanding results.

Thursday 6 March

Our first appearance at Eskdale in 2025, with a small initial cohort to get the festival started for us. Emily, Y7, was our first performer of the day, performing a piano solo in the Year 7 and under category. Her performance of the Allegro from Cimarosa’s Sonata in C minor earned her an early first place finish. Emily appeared twice more on the Thursday, with two more first place finishes, but on these occasions performing in year 9 classes.

Next up was Layla, in the Piano Solo for Year 8 and under category. She produced a confident performance of Waltz by Edvard Grieg, which earned her a well deserved first place.

Aryana, Y9, appeared in two year-11 classes. She stunned the audience with her performance of Elegie by Rachmaninov, earning her the “performance of the week” from the adjudicator, and securing a further two first-place finishes.

Kevin (Y12) showed amazing grit and determination performing in difficult circumstances. His performance of the popular River Flows in You by Yiruma earned him his first award at Eskdale this year, with a second-place finish. He is set to appear in two more classes on Friday.

Friday 7 March

A rather cloudy drive over to Whitby today.  This was to be our main ‘senior’ competition day with students competing across a wide range of classes.

Mia (Y8) started proceedings in the Flute Solo Class for students in Year 9 and under.  Her rendition of We’re Off To See The Wizard earned her a creditable 3rd place to get the ball rolling.

While we continued with woodwind classes, Dexter (Y9) sailed straight into 1st place with his clarinet solo, the Prelude from The Victorian Kitchen Garden Suite by Paul Reade.

The drama for today started with Y10 William’s performance of Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd.  Despite dropping a stick half way through the piece William managed to continue playing the kit with his bare hand to achieve another 1st place to add to our ever expanding collection.

Kevin made his second appearance on the Festival stage for this week, playing Adventure of a Lifetime by Coldplay on electric guitar, followed by Come Together by the Beatles on drum kit.  Another two 1sts.  Well done Kevin.

Now came the time for a plethora of singers!

Ellie (Y10) delivered a crystal clear performance of Domine Deus from Vivaldi’s ‘Gloria’.  The 1st position was never in doubt.

Y11 student Joseph performed in the boys class for students in Year 11 and under.  His dramatic delivery of Stars from ‘Les Miserables’ added yet another 1st to the tally.

Ellie returned to show her versatility by singing Requiem from ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ (1st place) and followed with a duet with Blossom (Y9).  Laudamus Te, the sixth movement from the aforementioned ‘Gloria’ by Antonio Vivaldi earned another 1st.

Ben (Y11) ended our morning session with his own composition, Looking Back.  Our final 1st placing for this session.

The afternoon saw a lot of vocal soloists.  We had now moved down the age groups slightly to feature students in Year 9 and under.  We were treated to a broad cross section of musical genres, from classical repertoire, through songs from the shows, right through to rock and pop.

The top two places in the girls class were taken by Molly (Y8) singing Matchmaker from ‘Fiddler On The Roof’ (2nd place) and Blossom with a stunning performance of 7 Nation Army by The White Stripes (Post Modern Jukebox arrangement) – 1st place.  Credit should also be given to Emily, Betsy (Y8) and Layla, who made the adjudication process particularly difficult with their performances in this class.

The boys followed, with Toby and Ryder (both Y7) gaining 2nd and 3rd place respectively with their performances of Round Shouldered Man from The Secret Garden and Pure Imagination  from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

“Songs from the Shows” is always a keenly contested class as the boys and girls compete together in this field.  Blossom did well to gain a 3rd place with her rendition of Summertime from George Gershwin’s ‘Porgy and Bess’.  Toby was also awarded a ‘Highly Commended’ in this class for his delivery of Giants In The Sky from the Stephen Sondheim musical ‘Into The Woods’.

Our Friday afternoon concluded with Emily gaining another 1st in the Folk Song class with The Water Is Wide.  Finally, Toby and Ryder went head to head in the Vocal Recital Class, achieving 1st and 2nd respectively.

The Scarborough College ‘medal’ tally is looking pretty healthy so far.

Well done to all our senior students for their outstanding work.  Let’s see if the juniors can achieve the same level of performance next week….

 Monday 10 March

Thick fog to accompany the journey to Whitby today.

Our Guitar ensemble, featuring Elliot, Gregor, Brandon Young (all Y4), Alex and Toby (both Y5), started a new week by winning the Guitar Ensemble Class with their wistful performances of Icarus by Kurg Kindle and Arietta by Joseph Kuffner.

Gregor and Brandon went on to win 1st and 2nd respectively in the Guitar Solo Class for those students in Year 6 and under.  Gregor playing Zoo Blues and Brandon with a lovely rhythmic version of Meet the Flintstones.

The piano classes followed for the remainder of the morning session.  Brandon, having a bit of a busy day today (!) featured in the Year 4 and under Piano Solo Class with Sparkling Splashes and Smooth Water by Barbara Arens, gaining a 3rd place against some stiff competition.

Following lunch, it was the turn of the Year 6 and under students.  Hollie and Liam from Y6 were there to represent Scarborough College.  Hollie opened the Year 6 and under Piano Solo Class with a very intelligent interpretation of Miroslav Gasieniec’s Hansel and Gretel.  Liam followed immediately after with The Entertainer by Scott Joplin.  They scored another 2nd and 1st respectively.

The afternoon session concluded with Hollie and Brandon taking to the stage yet again for the Piano Recital Class for Years 6 and under.  It was good to finish the day with a joint 1st for this class – the adjudicator simply couldn’t split them!

 Tuesday 11 March

A rather damp start to the day with some blustery showers and a fairly ‘lively’ sea in Whitby!

We started the morning session with Aurelia (Y6) featuring in the Drum Solo Class for Year 6 and under.  A great rhythmic interpretation of Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars saw Aurelia sail into 2nd place here.

All of the children in Years 1 to 6 were transported to Whitby for a battle of the choirs later in the morning!  We have a reputation for being top of our class in Eskdale Festival and this year was no exception.  The Prep School Choir roared into 1st place in the Recital Class, followed by the Chamber Choir being placed 1st in both the Folk Song and Sacred Music classes.

For the first time in our Eskdale Festival history, our Infants (children in Years 1 and 2) were entered into a competitive class.  Usually we sing in the Non-Competitive class, but we thought we might just step it up a bit this year!  They sang in a class for children in Year 4 and under…..and won!  Well done everyone.

The afternoon session saw our infant and junior solo vocalists take to the stage.  Alice (Y2) started proceedings with a word perfect delivery of My Favourite Things from ‘The Sound of Music’.  Yet another 1st…….!

CeCe, Raffety (both Y3) and Georgia (Y4) competed in a heavily populated Year 4 and under Vocal Solo Class.  CeCe managed to gain a creditable 3rd in a very closely fought session.  This was a busy class!

Georgia took to the stage for the third time today to sing in the Recital Class for Year 6 and under, entertaining the audience with Over The Rainbow from ‘The Wizard Of Oz’ and Naughty from ‘Matilda’.  Another 1st to add to the junior haul.

Georgia rounded off the day by competing in another large class for Songs from the Shows for children in Year 6 and under – so, competing against students two years her senior!  This was certainly a crowd pleaser, featuring pieces from ‘Oliver’, ‘School of Rock’, Mamma Mia’, ‘Cinderella’, ‘Wicked’ and ‘Cats’.  A well deserved 3rd in this class brought our overall medal haul total to;

  • 3rd = 6
  • 2nd = 7
  • 1st = 29

Headmaster’s Update 28 February 2025

Welcome back! I hope you had a restful and enjoyable half-term break. As we look ahead, the coming weeks promise to be busy and exciting – from the U18s Rugby 7s tournament that was held on Wednesday, the Wicked workshops with various visiting primary schools and the TedX talks next Friday, to the Prep School visit to Peat Rigg this weekend and the LAMDA exams in early March, there are many opportunities for our children to excel.

This week, we were delighted to welcome Mrs Francesca Porter, wife of our newly appointed Senior Deputy Head, Mr Matthew Porter, along with their two sons, Theo and Frankie. The boys were able to spend time with their new classmates ahead of their official start in September and we are thrilled to have the Porter family joining our community.

Matthew brings with him a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to pastoral care and academic excellence. Currently the Assistant Head Pastoral at the British International School of Houston, Matthew oversees the wellbeing of nearly 600 secondary students at one of the world’s premier international schools. His background includes senior leadership roles at esteemed HMC boarding and day schools in the UK, including Denstone College and Milton Abbey. With an Honours Degree in History and Politics from the University of Durham and a PGCE in Secondary History from Exeter University, Matthew is also an outstanding academic teacher.

Beyond his professional achievements, Matthew is a passionate sports enthusiast, coaching rugby and cricket to a high standard. During his time in the United States, he developed a love for all things ‘Americana,’ particularly minor league baseball, with his family proudly supporting the Sugarland Space Cowboys.

We are also excited to welcome Francesca, a highly respected netball coach who brings her expertise from coaching Team America. Francesca previously served as Director of Sport and Co-Curricular at Denstone College, where she led BTEC PE, netball, and tennis programmes. Her passion for sport and commitment to nurturing young talent will be a wonderful addition to our school.

It was wonderful to meet the boys and Francesca in person and we look forward to the Porter family becoming an integral part of Scarborough College, bringing their considerable experience and enthusiasm to our community. 

With so much ahead of us in the calendar, I wish you all an inspiring and productive half term. Let’s embrace the busy weeks ahead with energy and optimism!

A Wickedly Good Day of Performance

Aspiring young performers from primary schools across Scarborough, along with our own Prep School students, were treated to a magical day of musical theatre as they immersed themselves in the world of Wicked. The day, hosted by our talented drama consultant Mr Alex Weatherhill, offered 30 enthusiastic children the chance to sing, dance, and act under the guidance of top-tier theatre professionals.

The day kicked off with warm-up games that had the children creating lively tableaus from musicals such as Matilda. With energy levels high, they moved on to learning the lyrics and melody of Wicked’s “What is this Feeling?”. Singing as a choir, the children confidently took on both Elphaba and Galinda’s parts, showing great teamwork and vocals. They also tackled the beautiful and emotional “For Good,” with many brave pupils stepping into the spotlight to sing solo lines – a fantastic confidence boost for all involved.

Splitting into smaller groups, the children delved into acting, rehearsing and staging specific scenes from Wicked. They staged the scenes themselves and received feedback from Mr. Weatherhill, whose experience performing on stage in the West End and around the world was invaluable.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the arrival of Lucyelle Cliffe, a seasoned West End performer who has appeared in Wicked. Lucyelle led a movement workshop that introduced the children to the original Wicked West End choreography for “One Short Day.” It was impressive to see how quickly the children picked up the routine, delivering it with real style and enthusiasm.

During a special Q&A session, Lucyelle answered thoughtful questions from the children, covering everything from her favourite character to play, how she prepares for shows, and even what songs she enjoys dancing to. A particularly inspiring moment was when the children learned that Lucyelle began her professional acting career at just four years old – proof that it’s never too early to dream big!

The day finished in a performance where the children showcased their hard work. They sang, danced, and acted in front of a proud audience of parents. The transformation from morning to afternoon was remarkable, with parents agreeing that the children’s accomplishments in just one day were brilliant.

A huge thank you goes to Mr Weatherhill and Mr Garfitt, our Director of Music, for organising such a special experience. And of course, a heartfelt thank you to Lucyelle Cliffe for delivering a workshop that will no doubt leave a lasting impression on all the young performers.

Headmaster’s Update 7 February 2025

Dear Parents,

The last two weeks have been filled with achievements, hard work, and a real sense of community spirit.

Academically, we have had cause for celebration as well. Our Year 11 and Year 13 students received impressive mock exam results, a testament to their diligence and commitment to their studies. Our IB students are receiving high calibre of university offers, demonstrating just how well-prepared our students are for the next stage of their academic journeys.

Our sporting fixture calendar has been packed, with our teams showcasing their dedication and skill across multiple disciplines. It has been  a joy to see the standard of the teams, but more importantly, to witness the camaraderie and perseverance of our students in every match they play.  Sadly our staff rugby team are too good at coaching, hence their defeat to the pupils in a fun rugby game at lunchtime today. 

The highlight of the past fortnight been the wonderful performances of Legally Blonde. If you have not yet had the opportunity to see it, I would strongly urge you to do so, as we still have some tickets remaining for Saturday’s show. Under the expert guidance of Mr Alex Weatherhill, as well as Mrs Sarah Golder, our talented students have brought this production to life with energy, enthusiasm, and remarkable talent. Special congratulations must go to students Kendall, Zac, Ellie, Will, and all the other budding actors who have created something truly special.

Looking ahead, the excitement continues as we prepare for our inaugural Charity Week, organised by our Sixth Form students. This promises to be a inspiring week, with activities including a fashion show, a hot dog stall, a sweet shop, and the much-anticipated staff vs. first-team netball match. Not to be missed is the Teacher vs. Teacher Sumo match – an event I suspect will be a particular highlight! Mr Kelly vs Mr Adams promises to be titanic contest after both turned down the opportunity to go against me.

Charity Week will be raising funds for two very worthy causes: UNICEF and our very own Mr Phil Wilson, who continues to make great progress in his recovery. We encourage everyone to support this brilliant initiative, and for those wishing to contribute further, more information about Mr Wilson’s GoFundMe campaign can be found here.

In terms of developments around the school, you may have seen in the news that we have now submitted planning permission for our new Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA), which will be located adjacent to the Astro. We are hopeful that approval will be granted soon, allowing us to begin construction before the summer. Additionally, planning permission has also been submitted for a new teaching block to replace the current Art and DT block. This new facility will nearly double our teaching space and provide three much-needed additional classrooms, greatly enhancing our learning environment.

Finally, I would like to extend my sincere thanks for the support you provide to your children in all their endeavours, whether it is helping with revision, driving them to many school events or simply sending them off to school with some spare change for a bake sale. Your encouragement and involvement are deeply appreciated and make all the difference.

With best wishes,

Mr Emmett

College Students Shine in Maths Challenges

Mathematical talent has been on full display this term, starting with the Intermediate Maths Challenge on 29th January. This annual competition, which tests problem-solving skills without the use of a calculator, saw 70 of our top-set students from Years 9-11 rise to the challenge. Despite the demanding nature of the paper, our students performed well, demonstrating their logical thinking and numerical skills.

Further maths excellence followed as a team of students – Ben and Daphne from Year 8 and Aryana and Matthew from Year 9 – headed to The Mount School in York for the Regional Final of the Team Maths Challenge on 4th February. This day-long event was packed with puzzles, logic games, and collaborative problem-solving tasks, offering a fantastic opportunity for our mathematicians to test their skills against some of the best young minds in the region.

The Scarborough College team put in a strong performance, impressing with their teamwork and analytical thinking. Although they narrowly missed out on a podium place, their enthusiasm and dedication were evident throughout the competition.

Congratulations to all who took part!

 

A Week of Spectacular Performances

The stage was set, the lights were shining, and our talented students took to the spotlight to deliver an unforgettable production of Legally Blonde Jr from 6th to 8th February. The performances showcased the incredible talent, hard work, and dedication of everyone involved.

Leading the cast with confidence and charm was Year 11 student Kendall, who brought Elle Woods to life with her gutsy and inspiring portrayal. Alongside her, Year 10 students Zac and Ellie delivered standout performances as Emmett and Paulette, respectively. However, it was our Year 13 boys who truly stole the show, with their hilarious and charismatic guest roles as Dewey and Kyle.

This fantastic production would not have been possible without the expert guidance of drama consultant and director Mr. Alex Weatherhill. A special thank you also goes to Mrs. Golder for her incredible choreography and co-directing. The energy, enthusiasm, and teamwork on display was an absolute joy to watch. 

Meanwhile, outside of school, 20 of our Prep School students showcased their dancing talents at the YMCA from 7th to 9th February in the Studio 3 Glitz and Glam dance showcase. From Little Owls to Year 6, students performed in a variety of dance numbers, demonstrating skill and passion regardless of their age group. Studio 3 runs dance classes at our Prep School, offering nursery, infant, and junior students the opportunity to develop their talents from an early age and it was a delight to watch their confidence grow on stage. 

It has been an incredible half term for performing arts, with many more events on the calendar for the next few months. Make sure you watch your emails for more details.

Sports Update 29.11.24

In arguably one of the best days for College sports, SC were victorious in three out of four matches against some of the best schools’ sports sides.

On Wednesday 27 November, Scarborough College faced opposition in hockey and rugby from Bradford Grammar School, Durham School, Sedbergh School and St Peter’s York.  Winning three games, it was a remarkable day for the sports department and testament to the incredible work that has been taking place over the past few years.

Rugby Magic

In a match for the ages and certainly on paper, the toughest test so far, captain Tom led out his First XV to face a strong Durham School side, including an England U18 international and several academy players. As expected, the Durham pack was formidable in both size and physicality but the SC front-rowers stood up to the test.

Tough conditions player their part but our boys showed remarkable technical and tactical abilities to cope with what was thrown at them.  A penalty and conversion from Will and tries from both Seb and Lucas provided the 14 – 15 scoreline in what Mr Thurgood described as, ‘Arguable the most significant result in the school’s history’.

Continued Success for the U19 Girls

Meanwhile, back home, the U19 Girls’ hockey team played an organised and disciplined first half against Sedbergh School that saw the opponents camped in their own half for the duration of the first half.  A half-time score of 2-0, courtesy of Ines Lorenzo and Siobhan Daley, looked to set the stage for a controlled and calm second half.

A determined Sedbergh School brought the deficit back to one before a fast break set up Siobhan for her second of the day  A controversial Sedbergh short corner that was struck without appearing to hit the backboard meant a very nervy three minutes.  The girls held firm and progress to the final eight of the ISHC Cup.

Boys’ U18 in (Gr)eight Spirits

With a very busy hockey term ahead, it would appear that the U18s are starting to gel in all areas of the pitch.  Although the scoreline might deceive, both Cole and Harry were put to the test and came out with some excellent saves.  The midfield is coping with the demands of hockey at this level and are starting to link very well with the forwards.

Up front, meanwhile, there was a veritable goal glut as Reto (4), Levi (3) and Nicholas all got in among the goals.  While it might appear that BGS were simply swept aside, this was a commanding performance from the boys and a culmination of many hours of hard work on the training ground.

Cooper House Gets Creative for Movember

Friday, 22 November was Cooper House’s day in the spotlight, and they made it one to remember by supporting Movember, the global charity raising awareness for men’s health issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. With a mix of fun activities, dressing up and competitive edge, the whole school got involved to make a difference.

Molly, joint Cooper House Captain, explained the choice of charity: “This year, we picked Movember because it’s so important to raise awareness around men’s mental health and prostate cancer. These aren’t topics that people talk about enough, so we wanted to get everyone thinking about them.”

Cooper House took the fundraising to a new level with some unique activities. Students could buy stick-on moustaches – coined as “Buy a Tash for Cash”, which added a splash of humour to the day. There was also a twist on the classic party game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey, with participants pinning moustaches on photos of Molly, Nicola (fellow House Captain), and Mr. Kelly, Academic Head of House. 

Lunchtime saw the traditional Cooper Inter-House dodgeball match played out in Lisvane Hall. The majority of the senior school came to watch what turned out to be a very competitive and entertaining tournament, from which Cooper emerged victorious in both the Junior and Senior competitions.  

Cooper students and staff came together dressed head to toe in their signature blue, filling the school with house pride and energy. The day was a perfect blend of fun and awareness, all for a meaningful cause.

Adding to the fundraising efforts, Mr. Kelly, completed an incredible personal challenge in the lead-up to the Cooper House Day. On Saturday 16 November, he ran laps around Bramcote Athletics Track from sunrise to sunset, racking up an impressive 70 kilometres! His dedication not only raised more funds but also inspired students to push their limits for a good cause – what an amazing achievement. 

Congratulations to Cooper House for organising another fantastic House Day. The link to support Mr Kelly’s Go Fund Me for Movember is still open – click here to donate. Crews House, you’re up next in the new year!
