Year 7 Football Mid Sussex District Champions
On Tuesday 18th April, the Mid Sussex District Final was played between Warden Park and Forest. The match was played at Forest so they enjoyed home advantage. On a difficult and challenging pitch, Warden Park started very brightly, creating a few opportunities and a corner in the opening 5 minutes. Forest grew into the match and were the better team for the first half, creating a number of scoring opportunities. A few good saves were made by Dylan and some last ditch tackles and blocks stopped Forest from taking the lead. Warden Park showed great courage, determination and togetherness to keep it 0-0 at half time.
Warden Park started the second half the better side, creating a number of chances. The team were able to keep the ball better and make some connections between the Centre Forward Zac and the wide players. Midway through the half, they took a deserved lead by playing the ball from the middle out wide and cross across the box; Jake was there to slot the ball into the net. Shortly after Warden Park were denied a blatant penalty appeal. The team were able to hold out for the rest of the game with some great defending and some brilliant game management.
Congratulations on a great achievement.

Evie performs at the royal Albert Hall
On Easter Day 2023, Evie M in Year 8 played in the Suzuki Gala 2023 at the Royal Albert Hall. This international showcase featured over a thousand children from thirty one countries.
The Hall was filled with players on the stage, in the choir stalls and in the arena, giving performances from violin, viola, cello, piano, flute and recorder.
It was a magical celebration with music that all children could play together, to more advanced pieces such as the Haydn Cello Concerto which Evie played with around twenty five cellists.
Evie had the amazing experience of sitting right at the front of the stage.
What a fantastic experience!
My experience at the National Youth Music Theatre
At the beginning of this year, I applied for an audition with the National Youth Music Theatre, a theatre company founded in 1976 and dubbed “the best youth music theatre in the world” by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Hundreds to thousands of people audition each year for the number of productions they put on.
A few months ago, I went for my first audition, which was an all-day process, and got a callback a week later. I then went to the callback, and was cast in their concert, which will be performed twice in the summer.
In the first week of the Easter break, I spent 8 days on a residential in Tonbridge to rehearse for this concert. The rehearsals were twelve hours long, full of singing, dancing and acting, with a one hour break for lunch and another for dinner. It was extremely intense, but taught me a lot about the theatre industry, and being surrounded by so many people who were just as passionate as me about performing encouraged me to push myself further.
The concert’s first performance is on the 8th July at the Fuse Festival, and the second is on the 27th August at the Southwark Playhouse in London.

Oskar starts the new season with a first place
The new season started last weekend at Cadwell Park and Oskar qualified in p2 for the first race and took the lead straight from the start and led the race from start to finish to secure his first first place.
In the second race he qualified in p4 and moved into 3rd from the start and did an amazing over take on the outside of a fast bend to move into second and started to hunt down 1st place but sadly due to previous red flags in the day his race was cut short by 5 minutes so he ran out of time, however he secured a 2st and a 2nd place for the weekend and now sits as the championship leader overall.
