Last Wednesday the senior footballers had mixed fortunes in the Kent Cup. The 1st X1 lost in their quarter-final to Dane Court Grammar School 2 – 1, but the 2nd X1 beat Norton Knatchbull 4 – 3 to reach their respective semi-final. Well done to the players, and thank you to the staff members who support them.
Congratulations to the year 7 and 8 boys who competed in the Junior Knole Run for the first time last Friday. It was a fantastic event and our boys gave everything. Out of 211 runners MGS had four in the top 20, and as a team finished 3rd out of the 39 teams. The boys were a credit to their school. Well done.
This week Year 13 return to normal school following their mock examinations last week. Now their teachers will be marking their papers and so results will come out soon.
Also this week we are opening our doors to the wider community and inviting prospective students and their families in to see if the wish to consider MGS as a viable sixth form option. Sadly, due to the ongoing Covid restrictions we cannot run our normal Post 16 Open Evening, but the five smaller events over five mornings will hopefully go some way in illustrating to perspective students what life is like at MGS. As well as this we are also inviting our own year 11 students to spend an afternoon in school speaking to subject staff about all things A Levels, and what subjects are right for them. We hope the students find the opportunity useful.
