Cold, wet and dark, the perfect conditions for a further ten minutes under the duvet. Not so for the many Day and Residential Boarders who don PE kit and taking part in Early Morning Training three times a week at Gordon’s - whatever the weather! Today Mr Fox welcomed 44 of them from every year group in the school. Many came along to improve their fitness for the expedition to Dartmoor, others for team sports and their Duke of Edinburgh Awards. All can now look forward to a hearty breakfast.
Mock exams out of the way, now it’s time for the Sixth Form interviews. Senior members of staff at Gordon’s have begun interviewing current Year 11 Students who wish to continue into the Sixth Form, which ranks in the top one per cent of schools in the country for progress over the past three years at A Level. Next week Gordon's will be welcoming external applicants for interview. Best of luck to all of them.
Diffusing bombs and escaping - just a normal weekend in the life of a Gordon's boarder! Balmoral and Windsor enjoyed a great trip out to Containment Escape Rooms for a day of problem solving and puzzles, managing to escape with just three minutes remaining.
With the Whitehall Parade just around the corner, time to take to the Parade Square at Gordon's for some practice. The school is the only one in the country allowed to march along this iconic London street, a Parade that is held every year in remembrance of General Gordon.

Congratulations to the 1st XI Football team, through to the last 16 of the English Schools' FA Cup after a 3-1 away win to St Clement Danes School in Hertfordshire. Last year the team reached the semi-final of this national competition.
She skated her way to success at the Viola Championships in Cardiff, clinching a Bronze Medal with her team Fusions in Synchronised Skating. Now Gordon’s Heidi Smith has her sights set on the British Synchronised Skating Championships in Nottingham later this month. Heidi, who trains with Fusions at Bracknell Ice Rink started skating when she was eight years old and though she is one of their youngest members, has risen through the ranks to become Vice Captain of the team. We wish her and her team the best of luck.
Runners from Gordon’s joined over three million others from around the world on Saturday when they took part in Parkrun. The group of 16, together with their marathon-running teacher Jamie Sinclair, did the five kilometre Woking Parkrun before returning to school for their usual Saturday morning activities. The community run, which takes place across the globe, is now a regular event in the school’s calendar, although the location will vary as other nearby locations are used.
