Mr Cartledge Head of PE and Health
The last 2 weeks have brought a brilliant finish to the year for our athletics teams with the Junior Boys team winning the County Plate Athletics Final and the Years 7-10 Boys and Girls teams combined winning the District B League at the annual District Championships – an amazing effort. Well done to all students who have represented the school so well over the summer months.

As ever competition was fierce but the Bushey Meads students can be proud of their efforts. It was a fantastic day of competition with a special mention to K Walker who was crowned District 100m Champion after a brilliant performance in the Final. With all the results collated Bushey Meads Boys teams finished top of the District B League and the BMS Girls teams finishing Runners-Up.

Over the last seven weeks, the U14 boys athletics team have shown fantastic commitment whilst taking part in the District Athletics League.
Following a hugely successful first 6 matches where the boys got stronger and stronger each week, the U14 boys managed to finish 5th in the league, qualifying for the District Athletics Plate Final. The plate final is made up of the schools who finished 5th – 8th in the league over the 6 prior matches and then combined with the other half of schools in Hertfordshire to conclude in a final competition and the opportunity to win a trophy.
On Monday 1st July, the boys went off to Jarman Park in Hemel Hempstead to compete for the last time this year in the final. We were up against some strong competitors including Parmiters, Goff, Habs and others. The boys performed really well on the night with a number of top 3 finishers including K Walker 3rd 100m, R Hodgson 3rd 800m and Triple Jump, M Golon-Mathews 2nd Long Jump, A Chaudhry 2nd Discus and J Andrews 2nd Pole Vault. Special mention to F Francos who finished off a fantastic individual season by winning the 1500m race.
After all the events concluded, we gathered on the track to find out our results. A successful day for Bushey Meads students which was later topped off by finding outer had come joint 1st with 69 points to retain the Junior Boys Plate we had won the previous year, a great effort by the boys. Throughout the season there have been some exceptional performances all round from students, setting new personal bests, working excellently as a team and demonstrating the ability to motivate themselves and work as part of a team throughout.
Excellent performances all round. Well done all.
