Last Thursday was our annual Sports Awards Evening – a fantastic celebration of sporting excellence, recognising our pupils’ commitment and dedication to sporting life at Francis Holland Regent’s Park. We were also honoured to welcome a very special VIP as our guest speaker, Katie Shanahan – former England hockey player and sports broadcaster – to talk to our pupils about her impressive career.
Pupils were invited onstage to receive their awards in a host of categories including Sportswoman of the Year, Sports Personality of the Year, and Team of the Year which was deservedly awarded to our Intermediate Cross Country Team, recognising a team in a sport that too often goes under‑recognised. At each meet, the team showed up and delivered consistently strong performances, culminating in an impressive qualification for the London Schools National Champs.
Pupils also received recognition for outstanding achievement and best progress in a variety of sports. We would like to extend our enormous thanks to Katie for presenting our Sports Awards and inspiring our girls with her incredible story.
A huge well done to every single award winner for representing our school on the track, field, court, pitch and in the pool throughout the past year with such dedication, commitment and enthusiasm – a true embodiment of our school values!
Finally, thank you to all the parents and guardians who joined us to celebrate the girls’ successes, and thank you to the PE Department for delivering a wonderful evening of celebration.
