Closing the year in style: the Sixth Form Ball


Last Friday's Sixth Form Ball was an enormous success. As you'll see from the photographs, students and staff alike were finely attired – and the venue was decorated in accordance with this year's theme: red.


For the first time, the event included a seated dinner – allowing our Extracurricular Activities Coordinators Johny and Jo to announce and present the sport awards during the final course. This year's prizes went to:

  • Josh Govett (Football)
  • Kate Herbert (Netball)
  • Vladimir Mikheev (Rugby)
  • George Meagher (Hockey)
  • Laura Broadbent (Ladies' Football)

In addition, the following students were presented with special awards:

  • Jack Burke (Most Committed Sportsperson)
  • Joel Collins (Sportsman of the Year)
  • Sarah Pearson (Sportswoman of the Year)
  • Netball Team (Team of the Year)

Finally, thanks to everyone who helped organise the Ball, especially to Kat Baljasnikova and Emma Minshull for their work as student representatives during the planning and run-up to the Ball, and to Gemma Clarkson and Rory Cleaver for helping to set up on the day.

Also to musicians Samuel Barrett, Gidon Fineman, Ben Pugsley and Josh Vizor, who deftly provided a nonchalant soundtrack to the first part of the evening ...

... and, of course, to Po, our Events Coordinator – who did everything from DJ-spotting to menu selection; table-plans to poster-design.

Our best Ball yet?
