Quarter Finals beckon!

2011-11-09T00:00:00

The 1st XI Football team make it through to the quarter finals having beaten Royal Russell School 3 - 2.

Cumnor House traveled up from Sussex to Croydon to face Royal Russell school on a damp a cold day. It turned out to be a cup epic. An early goal for Cumnor from Ben Lovill settled the Cumnor nerves. The match remained tight up until short of half time with Cumnor trying to play football but being out-muscled by the physical Royal Russell side. 30 seconds before half time Olly Bradley was clean through for Cumnor and hit the bar and with the resulting counter attack ending in a corner at the other end, a fine header saw the sides level at half-time. Royal Russell gained the lead a few minutes after the break with a scrappy goal. However it was the Cumnor captain, Oscar McConnell who changed the game with firstly a fine equalizer. Cumnor continued to squirm chances including hitting the post before McConnell netted the winner with 5 minutes to go after great work from Bradley. McConnell was the stand out player on the pitch though Alex Chetwood, the small Cumnor keeper had a remarkable game in full sized goals.

CHS Orchestra Trip start with the "Anvil Chorus"

2011-07-18T00:00:00

Following a long drive through torrential rain, Mr and Mrs Mockridge, Mr Thavenot and Miss Rail welcomed the children and staff to Chateau Sauveterre at 1830 last night. Everyone had enjoyed a relatively painless journey.

The children quickly settled into their dorms and an intrepid few braved the pool for a chilly swim in the overcast and brisk conditions, prior to a simple supper and some relaxing time in the dorms.

Due to the change of clocks most of the children were not happy to be woken at 0730 (French time). There were certainly a few bleary eyes and plenty of bed hair! Following breakfast they were swiftly into rehearsals!

Needless to say all the children and staff are loving life in the south of France!

Please follow our blog and photos we look forward to seeing many of you at the concert on Saturday. (Apologies for an earlier typo!)
