We are delighted to report on yet another extremely successful year for the sports men and women of CCJS. In all 3 terms teams and individuals performed to a very high standard. Coaches will always tell you that sport is about development of skills, teams and individuals and this is true. We aim to engender a lifelong love of sport and exercise in all pupils at The Junior but it's also good to win a few!

The Colts A rugby team provided an early highlight for players, coaches and parents with an unbeaten run of 17 wins in 17 matches scoring an average of over 30 points per match. This was the second year in a row that The Junior Colts A team had remained unbeaten.

The Under 13 girls finished as runners up in the West of England IAPS competition and qualified for the National Finals which was unfortunately cancelled due to a run of poor weather.

Our skiers also qualified for National Finals at Rossendale in U12 and U14 age groups and continued to strengthen the name of CCJS in the prep schools skiing world.

The Year 7 girls medley and free style swimming relay teams also swam like fish and qualified for the IAPS National Finals where we unfortunately lost out to some even faster fish.

The Summer term brought athletics to the fore with 19 new records set in the course of our sports days and with 7 pupils qualifying for the National finals in Birmingham in the first week of the summer holidays.

The cricket season ended with a record breaking opening partnership for the 1st XI. Gianluca Mech and Edward Cutler had already enjoyed an opening stand of 161 against Dean Close earlier in the season but in the last match of the year, against King's Hall, Taunton, the pair hit an unbeaten 169; a school record for a 10 wicket win.

All in all, a good year.
