'Icarus' Sister' Takes Flight
Summer term: Week 4 News 18th May 2018 A note from the Headmaster This newsletter contains a report on the excellent Senior Play, performed last week by a cast of sixth form boys and girls. I would like to congratulate our actors on such an exciting and polished performance. You will also see a report below on our recent cricket fixture at Glamorgan County Cricket Club. This provided a superb opportunity for our team to play on their test ground, and I am very grateful to the Glamorgan staff who offered us such excellent hospitality for the day. A number of parents have been hugely supportive in helping us to develop this partnership with Glamorgan, and I am also immensely grateful to them. Please can I also draw your attention to the FOMs Summer Party, as advertised below. This promises to be a very enjoyable occasion, and thank you to the FOMs parents for their work to prepare for the event, and for their work to support our school.

With coach Duncan Fletcher he put some steel into the side; they became a difficult team to beat.

The authors examine the strategies and tactics that helped England go from World Cup flops to World Cup winners, as well as the various issues surrounding the side such as the Ben Stokes court case and the sacking of Alex Hales. It was exactly a year ago, when England claimed their maiden overs World Cup title after beating New Zealand by virtue of a contentious boundary count-back rule as scores were tied even after the Super Over. The year-old Stokes was adjudged the Man of the Match for his unbeaten 84, plus eight runs in the Super Over, which helped England claim that momentous victory. He has ghosted books for Duncan Fletcher and Matt Prior. Product Details About the Author. England's World Cup-winning cricketers are celebrating with the Prime Minister at Number 10 tonight in the afterglow of one of the greatest triumphs in British sporting history. They appointed a new coach in Trevor Bayliss, a man with an impressive white-ball CV. Jofra Archer bowled the vital delivery, and Martin Guptill played it out towards deep mid-wicket. In the excitement, he left it behind in the dressing room someone took it back to the hotel on his behalf.
