Sunday 1st October saw our talented BGS Skiers compete in the British Schoolgirls’ Indoor Races.

There were over 100 students competing in the races and as a school we were proud to enter two teams for the very first time. With our A team placing 14th and B team placing 34th out of 39 teams.

The Team consisted of Holly Tutt (Lower Sixth), Chloe Peck (Year 9), Helen Dickson (Year 9), Laura Dickson (Year 11), Francesca Davis (Upper Sixth) and Isabella Davis (Year 9). They all competed in the two runs of the individual slalom and in the parallel slalom relay event where they went head-to-head against other schools in some thrilling races.

Team Captain and GB skier Holly Tutt, set the bar high, not only winning the U19 individual event, but also winning the whole competition and finishing in first place overall.

All members of the team achieved their own individual successes as well as their success as a team. We were grateful to the parents who supported the team in the lead up to and on the day, a real team BGS effort and sense of community! We cannot wait to compete again in the future.
