On Wednesday 14th November, two teams of four students from KEHS competed in the 2018-19 regional Schools Challenge heats. The first team, comprising Nikita, Ella, Emily and Keerthana came very close to reaching the semi-final stage but lost out narrowly in both their matches – an excellent performance given that the opposition were mostly sixth formers. The second team, comprising Angie, Ivy, Amy and Anna-Rose, also performed very well against the first teams of both Stratford and KE Camp Hill Boys. Although our teams did not reach the semi-finals, they should be proud of their efforts.
