County Singles Success

Within just two weeks of her success in the County Doubles, Ella has now been crowned Under 16 County Singles Champion. Congratulations, Ella. Where next?.....Wimbledon?!

Swimming Success!

Thanks to the team of very strong swimmers who won 12 out of 14 races, Fonthill House won last week's House swimming gala!! In addition to great performances by Sophie, Amelia, Meg, Esther, Esmee, Izi and Grace, Amelia broke two school records in Butterfly and the Individual Medley.

Great cheers rose around the pool at the end of the gala as Mr Opie announced the very exciting news that Amelia will be representing Great Britain at this year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.  Good Luck, Amelia!!

Strawberries and Ice Cream!

Girls entered into the summer spirit with strawberries and ice cream on Saturday evening, even if the weather insisted on remaining wintery!
Interesting poses from Zoe and Medha!

Is Pili force feeding Cielle or is she happy to try her white chocolate Magnum?!

Capsizing Capers!

Looks as though Agnes enjoyed the Sunday morning capsize drills in Kingswood swimming pool in preparation for their rowing on the river Avon, but not quite so sure about Issy!

Charity Tennis Coaching

Miss Wright and members of the Senior Girls Tennis team raised over £300 for Hope & Homes for Children by coaching 20 junior girls for a couple of hours on a sunny Sunday morning in March in Bath's indoor tennis centre. A great pre-season training session, and all participants were given certificates with individual feedback on strengths and targets for improvement.
