Firstly, I would like to congratulate the U13 football squad for winning the Maidstone District Final last Tuesday, beating Valley Park School 1 - 0. It was a hard fought game throughout, particularly during the last 10 minutes when Valley Park School were trying desperately to equalise and take the game into extra time. Fortunately we held them off and in doing so secured the third Maidstone District final win in the last two weeks. Well done boys, and thank you Mr Saunderson for leading the team all season.
This week the GCSE examination continue for Year 11, but now the bulk of the A Level examinations begin for Year 13. Good luck to them all.
Good luck also to the 1st XI cricket squad who are taking part in the Kent Cup semi-final this week. They have a good run, so fingers crossed for more success.
Last Friday a number of parents, staff and friends of MGS enjoyed a night of questions at the Parents’ Association Quiz Night. The winning team was ‘Hudson’ who led the way almost from the start. Well done to them and thank you to the Parents’ Association, Mrs Friend and the student helpers for supporting the event.
Finally, from Icarus in the Archives, did you know in 1884, the year in which Greenwich Meridian and Mean Times were adopted, the Old Maidstonian Society was formed: an organisation that ensures many former students remain in contact with the school and each other.
