Prizegiving 2016

We welcomed Mr Alex Gidman as Principal Guest to our annual Prizegiving on Friday evening. Alex was England A Cricket Captain, played for the England Lions,  Gloucestershire County Cricket Club Captain, played for the MCC and Worcestershire during a 15 year career. He scored some 12, 000 first class runs, took over 140 catches and scored some 1, 500 Twenty Twenty runs. He spoke about the need for resilience so that difficulties and challenges can be overcome by using small gains and wins en route to a major goal. He also advocated taking advantage of the huge opportunities on offer at HGS and encouraged all to get involved in sport, drama, music and the house system. He was very impressed with the progress made during the past year as well as with the facilities on offer at HGS. It was a very positive and enjoyable event which saw Professor Joe Biddlestone our Chairman of Governors hosting the proceedings.
