On Thursday 7^th July, our Year 7, 8 and 9 girls attended the Nicky Morris athletics event.  There were 19 local schools competing, which was a great experience for the students as it meant they were competing against schools they had not come up against before. The event was split into 3 groups.  Our group meant that we played alongside Broxbourne, St, Marys Bishop Stortford, Goffs and John Warner.
