Congratulations to Josh Persad, who broke the 34 year old 100m record last week at the Cumnor House Pentathlon Meeting. He ran (on grass) in a new record time of 11:98, breaking the old time of 12:10 set in 1979 by B. Oyewebi. He also broke the 10 year old 75m Hurdle record by 1½ seconds! Well done Josh a fabulous achievement!

Please can I remind parents that no-one should be driving up Effingham Lane from the Hedgehog, as this is effectively a voluntary one-way system down towards the Hedgehog Pub for all Copthorne parents. All cars should approach the school from the Dukes Head end, and as many cars as possible should exit via the Hedgehog, turning left at this busy junction. It goes without saying that parents should drive at no more than 5 mph on the school site, and driving whilst on the phone is illegal!
The first 3rd team fixture of the season was an away Twenty20 match against Brambletye. Due to illness and injury we had to call upon 3 Year 6 boys who more than willingly answered the call to play up an age group. Captain, Joe Gache, won the toss and put the hosts into bat first. They batted throughout the 20 overs but were limited to 88 runs for 3 wickets; 1 caught and bowled by Dan Gooda, a clean bowl from Elliott Young and a “hit stumps” from another Young bowl.

On Friday 3rd May we took a team of 8 pupils to Cumnor House to compete in the annual pentathlon event. This first meet of the season is a great way to ease in and the “low key” competitive edge always brings the best out of the athletes. We could not have asked for nicer weather as the sun shone throughout the afternoon which made for a great running surface. All 8 pupils competed in the hurdles, 100m, long jump, shot put and finished with the 800m before the overall boy and girl...
