With Covid still impacting school life, many schools struggled to get teams out this term. Last-minute cancellations and depleted rosters took their toll, but our participation rates remained high.
Across the whole School, almost 70% of pupils took part in competitive fixtures. 99% of Lower School pupils competed for their school, with an impressive 92% of Middle Fourth and 96% of Upper Fourth pulling on the team jerseys.
Among those fixtures, Epsom enjoyed impressive results.
