U18 Cambridgeshire League Final

A massive congratulations to the senior XV rugby boys for their superb performance in the U18 Cambridgeshire League Final last night. Despite a narrow 28-22 loss, their performance was exceptional. We received many comments from Saffron Walden staff and parents, as well as members of the rugby club praising our team’s performance and conduct during and after the game. Thanks to all the staff and students that gave up their evening to come and watch. The support was incredible and helped make it my most memorable sporting fixture I have had a Birchwood. The boys were an absolute credit to the school.

Alfie Snook

British Cycling Award for Young Volunteers

Congratulations to Alfie Snook, for completing his British Cycling Award for Young Volunteers (CAYV) programme. This combines an introductory workshop at the Olympic Velodrome, which covers the fundamentals of cycle sport and volunteering roles, with practical placements with our Go-Ride Clubs. He has worked towards a Bronze (12 hours) and Silver (24 hours) award completing both qualifications during this summer and autumn terms. Gaining branded volunteer clothing, certificates, memberships and his help and guidance offered to others has been appreciated as he is one of only three in the Eastern Region Silver young volunteers. Well Done Alfie!
