The U16 hockey team beat Hall Cross Academy 6-3 in the National Playoffs to reach the National Hockey Finals for the first time.
Captain Jay Reddy scored four goals. Alex Cheswick and Max Dixon completed the scoring. The finals will take place at Cannock Hockey Club on the 24th and 25th April. KES will face Whitgift, Queens College and Ipswich School.
Overall, the trip showed our teamwork as a group flourish, and each of us began to notice our individual strengths.
Huge congratulations to Barnaby Lenon CBE, who has received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 Tes Schools Awards!
What was astonishing was the pros did the whole thing for five minutes in each, doing 5X what we did. All in all, the trip was interesting and insightful, and on behalf of everyone that went, I want to thank Mr Macdonald, Mr Caviezel-Cox and Mr Lloyd for organising it.
One of the boys said it reminded him of the Indiana Jones films.
