3G Pitch Opening Event

On Saturday the 14^th May we were delighted to hold an open event for our brand new state of the art 3G pitch. The event had initially been scheduled for last year but due to Covid restrictions in place had to be postponed. 

 

The bright. sunny day saw many staff, students, school families and members of the local community turn out to watch the opening ceremony presided over by John McDermott, technical director of the FA. 

 

Various teams from the school played mini tournaments against each other, with an exciting grand finale involving staff Vs old Danes. 

 

The PA had organised lots of refreshments, a BBQ and Ice cream Van, which was greatly appreciated. 

 

The school is very lucky to be able to offer the students this new facility, which has been made available through sponsorships by the following committees to whom we wish to express a huge thank you to: Hertfordshire Football Association, St Clement Danes Holborn Estate Charity, Chorleywood Common Youth Football Club, Parents Association and the Football Foundation.

 

Finally, a big thank you to our photographer on the day who helped capture some perfect pictures, Amy Esposito, who is also one of our talented sixth form students.
