We were delighted to be able to send a team to the Dartford Athletics Meeting on 17th Septebmer, as this event is usually held during our school holidays.
Our girls competed against teams from 11 other schools in the area, most of which are far larger than Cobham.
Head of PE, Mrs Kelli Hooper, was absolutely delighted with all the girls. 'They were smart, focussed, determined and full of confidence. We had a number of outstanding results for such a small school.'
The overall results showed just how well the girls had done. All the placings are out of 12 schools.
