Continuing Orchard success!

We’ve only been back a few days and already there has been cause for celebration amidst the Orchard boys and girls. Sophie Arnold picked up the Sportswoman of the Year award at Tuesday’s Girls’ Sports Dinner; recognition for two great years of sporting endeavour in a number of sporting activities. And there were further awards for Meg Barron-Cutts, Maddie Newman, Beth Jones and Chloe Reeder at that ceremony too. Well done, girls!

Our congratulations also extend to Charlie Sichel  who has picked up a Sixth Form Rugby Scholarship and, likewise, to Oliver May who is representing Bedfordshire this weekend at the Mounted Games Competition where he will be hoping to impress the England selectors with his horse-riding skills.


The Commonwealth Games are being held in Glasgow over the summer and I am pleased to inform you that Orchard House will be represented at those Games in the form of Ruaridh Sheppard. Ruaridh volunteered to assist in the running of those Games and was successfully selected from a huge number of applicants. I am sure you will have a great experience, Ruaridh!

Mr R.Curtis
