Fencing Competition
On Sunday 9th March 2025 our Sports Academy Fencers competed at the British Fencing National Schools Team Championships 2025 at the Leon Paul Fencing Centre in London. A total seven students competed within two teams entering the U13 Girls Sabre category and U15 Boys/Mixed Sabre category.
U15 Boys competed against independent and selective schools such as Whitgift school, King Edward VI Shakespeare's school, St Columba's College and St Benedicts school. This was a first experience of Fencing at this level for our students with many of the team competing in the upper age category. Although the team did not get the result they wanted, this was a valuable experience as students demonstrated resilience which will help them progress within Fencing for the future.
The U13 girls Sabre team also competed against independent schools such as Millfield School and George Watson's College, both two very successful and experienced Fencing schools. This was also a first experience for these students to compete at this level of competition. The team were successful in securing a bronze medal after very tough bouts. The girls grew in confidence over the duration of the competition and improved the quality of their fencing.
We look forward to the future of Fencing at Crown Hills Community College, with the combination of commitment, aspiration and the provision in place from the school we are hopeful for more success to follow in future.
