Monday was a chance for our St Mary’s students to put their best foot forward, as they began a new week of lessons and played an exciting cricket match! They also had a fun quiz later in the day, as the week burst into life.

Another terrific timetable of classes got underway after breakfast, on a sunny morning in Ascot. The students were given general details about their subjects, in order to prepare them for the week’s study.

There was much enthusiasm from everyone on campus, as the topics all look fascinating. The students are all raring to go and get stuck into the finer points of their courses, and the teachers were greatly encouraged by such eagerness.

The exuberance was carried over into the afternoon, when the students headed out into the sunshine to take part in a cricket match. After England’s incredible and inspiring World Cup success, and with the Ashes on the horizon, the sport is certainly the flavour of the month, and the students were keen to capitalise!

The friendly competition didn’t end there, as the students all gathered in the early evening for a quiz. They navigated their way through a series of challenging questions, answering on a series of handheld devices and giving the activity a game-show feel! It was a great end to a fantastic first day of week three in Ascot, with plenty more to come.
