Headmasters Corner
We start this week, as always, in celebratory mode. We congratulate
Aditi Mehendale for being awarded an Academic scholarship at
Badminton school. This is a superb accolade and well deserved
after many terms and years of hard work and dedication; well done!
In addition we congratulate Tabitha Huby who has been awarded a
deferred place at Badminton on the back of her very successful and
impressive exam results earlier this term.
The first Saturday of half term saw our cross country runners in action
the final Gloucestershire League race of the season. All of our runners
have produced some very impressive performances this season
with the most notable being Dalis Jones who took third spot for the season in the Under 11
girls; Alex Grocott for a second place in the under 13 boys and the Under 13 boys team who
took the silver medal. It should be remembered that Tockington Manor is the only school that
takes part in this league as all other teams are Athletics Clubs.

George and Ollie were clearly

in need of taking on board
more fuel after an excellent
race!

Well done to all and thank you to all the parents who travel to watch the children take part.
These are very enjoyable events and I know that as parents and staff we are enormously
proud of our children. I must also thank Mr Cann for his continued support and of course Mr Jones the driving force behind
the schools love of running.
Forgive me but we stay with our U13 boys as whilst our Cross Country teams were in action at Westonbirt (report to
follow later in this edition of the Tracker) they welcomed Clifton College football team to the school. After having gone 2-0
down the boys produced a display that even Jose Mourinho would be able to be positive about. A superb team
performance with all players producing their best, the final result being a 3-2 win to Tockington. Well done boys!
Good luck to all those taking part in the Inter House netball and football tournaments tomorrow and the under 8 Netball
team who head off to Beaudesert for a Hi5 Festival.

Some outstanding performances. When the results arrive I would think that the U12 girls will win their category with
the U9 Boys coming close; the U10 Boys will also be in contention as the winners of their section.
Over 21 schools took part in the afternoon.
Glos League CC
On the first Saturday of half term our cross country team went to
Tewkesbury for the final of the four Gloucestershire League Cross
Country meetings. All the runners did their best with excellent results.
The Under 13 boys team won a silver medal with Alex Grocott
winning an individual silver medal and Alex Jacobi placed 5th - a great
result for them as they were a year younger than most others in their
category. The Under 13 girls team come 4th with Ellie Parker placed
6th. The Under 11 boys team was also 4th with Otis Walker placed
4th. The Under 11 girls again come 4th with Dalis Jones winning the
bronze medal. Well done to all those who took part.
