We are extremely proud of our netball team who have now achieved a ‘national double’ as they reach the national finals in two separate championships.

Having previously qualified for the AoC National Championships taking place in April 2022, on Sunday 30 January, the team stormed ahead at the regional round of the National Schools Championships in Sheffield winning each and every game and qualifying them for yet another national final.
