We are delighted to celebrate the fantastic achievements of two of our Prep VI pupils, Philippa and Leo, who have both been enjoying considerable success outside school.
Philippa has qualified to represent Bolton and District Riding Club at the prestigious Stars Champion of Champions, taking place at Aintree International Equestrian Centre on 20th November 2026. STARS is a major national equestrian event, bringing together competitors from more than 60 riding clubs across the country.
This qualification is a particularly impressive achievement, as Philippa finished top of the points league in her class throughout the summer showing season. Even more remarkably, this was her first showing season with her pony, Ollie Star Boy, whom she has owned since April. We wish Philippa and Ollie every success at Aintree!
Meanwhile, Leo has been proudly representing the North West region at the British Gymnastics Teams National Finals in Telford. Competing against some of the country’s finest young gymnasts, Leo and his regional teammates produced an excellent performance to secure a fantastic bronze medal.
Two very different sporting disciplines, but two equally impressive achievements! We are incredibly proud of Philippa and Leo and their dedication, commitment and success beyond the classroom. Well done to both!
