Etone PE Review of the Year 2014 | Etone College Please see the video below displaying the events that have taken place in PE this year.

Well done to the year 10 Rounders team who demonstrated exceptional team work in the schools rounders league. The second part of the league was played on Tuesday the 24th of June and it was a great example of what they have worked towards this summer; beating both St Thomas More and Higham Lane A team, and then unfortunately narrowly losing to Higham Lane B team in the last game of the competition. Chloe Smith and Scarlett Dearing both demonstrated impressive consistent high quality batting and fielding throughout the tournament.

URGENT: The Key Stage 3 Prize Giving evening is now on Wednesday 9th of July, instead of Thursday 10th July.
