Mitchem hits 76 to secure first victory for 2nd XI.

The 2nd XI cricketers secured their first victory today, beating Henley College in a nail-biting finish. Shiplake batted first scoring 164, with skipper Ben Mitchem scoring an impressive 76. In reply Henley reached 156, needing 10 off the last over. Zac Bigley bowled a tight final over conceding only 2 runs. Well done to Y13 players, Ben Mitchem, Harry Wilson and Oly Watkins-Murphy.

Four in a row for cricketers!

Our 1st XI have enjoyed four victories on the run with such impressive scalps as Magdalen College School and Bloxham. Skipper, Olly Gould and James Luscombe, James Black and Tom Whittingham have all made significant contributions to these fine wins. Particularly noteworthy are the half centuries by Olly and both James B. and James L. Well done, and good luck against Reeds on Saturday!

Drama success!

Many congratulations to our A2 Theatre Studies students for pulling off a superb performance of their devised examination piece, Sam and Hal. This powerful and moving series of short plays combined the very distinctive styles of Samuel Becket and Harold Pinter. It has to be said that Miss Saker's interval summaries helped some of us to understand the action but the skill and energy of James, Kristian, Ed, Harry and Christian can not be denied. Well done!
