YEAR 7 NETBALL
A huge well done to our Year 7 Netball team who took part in the netball league over 3 consecutive Tuesdays in March. The team consistently displayed great skill and teamwork and were able to bag 4 wins against Warden Park, Tanbridge House, Bohunt and St Pauls. The girls drew against The Burgess Hill Academy and The Forest School, and lost against Millais (4-3), Downlands (7-6), Oathall (8-4) and Sackville (8-3).
I am excited to see what next year’s season brings; this team are very talented and have huge potential to excel in the Y8 league.
Well done to all the girls that played in all or some of the fixtures: Livvy, Ella G, Mattie, Chloe, Katie, Lois, Jess, Liberty, Scarlett, Ella R.

STEM CHALLENGE
On Tuesday some of our Year 8 students took part in the IET Faraday Challenge Day at the Gatwick Stem Centre and we are delighted that one of our teams won this stage of the competition!
This is an annual competition made up of one day events, with the winning team from each day being added to the national leaderboard. The top teams from this leaderboard are then invited to take part in the National Final to compete for a cash prize of £1,000 for their school.
The students were given a brief from a client which they then had to research, design, and make prototype solutions which were then presented at the end of the day. All of the students were amazing, and we are very proud of them for how they represented our School.
YEAR 9
On Tuesday we were pleased to welcome the Young Green Briton Challenge to work with our Year 9 pupils.
Building on lessons in Geography, the pupils worked in small teams to develop solutions to sustainability and environmental issues.
Post workshop, there will be an opportunity to refine ideas before a winning team is chosen via a Dragon’s Den to represent Imberhorne at the National final in July!
YEAR 7 RUGBY
Sussex Rugby 7s Tournament
Final position: Runners Up
Congratulations to our Year 7 Rugby team who finished in second place at the Sussex 7-a-side tournament at Christ’s Hospital School, losing just one game, to the eventual winners; Hurstpierpoint college (an 8 tries to 6 thriller – 1 try every minute!!). There was some excellent rugby on show and many of our players caught the eye of other coaches, but the standout performance of the day was Jack, who scored in every round and was a threat every time he got his hands on the ball. His finish for the try against Seaford College was something else!
Try scorers: Seb M (4) Jack (4) Seb S (3) Josh (2) Zaiyn (1) Arthur (1) James (1)
Players of the tournament: Jack
Well done to all the boys who have played a part in this season’s fixtures, it’s been a busy 1st year and you have all made great strides, individually and as a team. The brand of rugby you are playing will set you up well, in the future, and you should all be extremely proud of how far you have come in such a short amount of time. Winners of your plate final last week and the second-best team in Sussex at the 7s tournament today. Really well done, very proud of you all. PBY
