Sports Awards 2023

It has been a great year of sport here at Denefield. On Wednesday 5 July we celebrated many of the brilliant students that have represented us throughout the year.

This year, we took part in 148 fixtures including: football, rugby, netball, badminton, athletics, rounders and cricket. We reached six finals, five athletes represented West Berkshire and six athletes represented Berkshire.

We ran a successful Sports Tour to Barcelona in Spain, where the students enjoyed fixtures against other schools, a tour of Espanyol Stadium and spent a day at Water World. Next year we are off to Holland in the Easter holidays!

The Virtu football programme at Sixth Form, has had a successful season in the Tactics League. It has been brilliant to see them playing, and we look forward to building on this success next year.
