In addition, individuals or teams from seven sports qualified for the European University Championships. 25 of our students have also represented 10 countries at senior international level across a wide range of sports this past year.

Other activities included hosting 420 school children at Discovery Days to raise aspirations of children in disadvantaged areas, and hosting a number of key sporting events including the British Open for Dodgeball, the Boccia National League Finals, the British Fencing GB Cup and the England Netball U17, U19 and U21 National Performance League Tournament, to name just a few.
