Feltonfleet is celebrating a record-breaking evening of swimming, with three school records being broken during a close-fought gala victory at home.  Swimmers from Year 4 to Year 8 excelled themselves in the pool against Cranleigh Prep last Monday. At the half way mark there were a mere three points between the two teams and by the end of the gala Feltonfleet were declared the winners by just nine points.

Overall Result: 214 Feltonfleet; 205 Cranleigh

U13 Result - 38:42 Cranleigh win

U12 Result - 40:40 Draw

U11 Result - 43:37 Feltonfleet win

U10 Result - 42:37 Feltonfleet win

What a fantastic gala! The spectators were on the edge of their seats as they witnessed photo finish races where every point counted and every swimmer rose to the challenge. Congratulations to Navik and Alexandra on their first event as Captains.

School records are harder and harder to come by and three records were broken on the day.

U11 Medley Relay 44.58sec (Nathan, Phoebe, Valerio, Max) just 0.12 seconds faster than the 2015 team which included Nathan’s sister Nicole

U11 30m Backstroke (22.27 sec) - Nathan F

Our talented Year 5 pupils created a stunning poppy display for Remembrance in their DT lessons, using scroll saws and plastics ovens to craft 3D poppies from Foamalux. A big thank you to Mrs. Manley for completing the display with a beautiful dove. #Feltonfleet #FeltonfleetCreativeArts #remembranceday #lestweforget

We will remember them. This year’s remembrance service at Feltonfleet was particularly moving, with a visit from the niece of one of Feltonfleet’s fallen, reminding us of the personal stories and legacies behind each name. Our Heads and Deputy Heads of School led the commemoration, sharing insights from their visit to the Royal Hospital Chelsea, where Veterans shared what remembrance means to them. Today, and always, we remember with gratitude and pride. #remembranceday #lestweforget #Feltonfleet #armisticeday @royalhospitalchelsea

Huge congratulations to our U13 girls for an amazing day at the @iapsuk National Finals at @juniorkingssch this week! From the first whistle, the girls truly embodied our core values of honesty, kindness, respect, and responsibility, both on and off the pitch. Their dedication and sportsmanship earned the admiration of coaches and spectators alike, and we couldn’t be prouder! After some phenomenal hockey, the team secured a spot in the National Finals later this month. We’re all so excited to cheer you on! 🏑🏆 #FeltonfleetSport #FeltonfleetRespect #FeltonfleetKindness #FeltonfleetHonesty #FeltonfleetResponsibility #FeltonfleetDestination13 @iapsuksport
