Students from Year 7, 8 and 9 took to the swimming pool on 18 January to take part in the College’s annual swimming gala.
Around two hundred students signed up for the gala, marking the first inter-house competition of the academic year. The hugely popular event saw swimmers compete in a range of different disciplines and heats, demonstrating skills in backstroke, front crawl and breaststroke. Individual performances were accompanied by medley relays including mixed stroke and mixed gender races.

Strong performances from all houses resulted in a closely fought competition that ended in the following results:
1st Newton 285 points
2nd Brunel 272 points
3rd Telford 240 points
4th Curie 236 points
