This years MTS Rugby week was another huge success with our senior rugby team taking on York House and Y5/Y6 players taking part in a Barbarians fixture, with and against other local Prep schools. We look forward to our Spring term rugby fixtures when we return in the new year. This term’s football has seen all boys in Y4-8 represent the school as well as two Y3 Football Development Days. House competitions took place in Football, Rugby, Hockey, Badminton and Cross Country in the final weeks of term seeing a mixture of houses come out on top in their respective year groups. Hockey continues to go from strength to strength with Y5 pupils playing their first competitive fixtures for MTP against Highgate and UCS, with pupils in Y5/6 also taking part in a successful Hockey Development afternoon at MTS. In PE our Y3 pupils have also been taking part in some fun Gymnastic activities with Mr Todd! The sports department wish you all a restful Christmas break and look forward to welcoming you back on the touchlines in the spring term for rugby season. Y7 & Y8 House Cross Country Cross Country
