Headmaster KCT year running, when Pete Belfield’s team
lost by just one point to Charterhouse,
and the CCF came out very positively from their inspection by
the Commandant of Sandhurst. OPEN DAY
Our rugby teams enjoyed a clean sweep against Queen’s,
the 1st XV winning by 86-0: they also defeated local rivals,
Taunton School. Three of our players are in the Exeter Chiefs
Academy. In hockey Matt Richards now has 23 caps for the
England Under 18’s and a gold medal at the Four Nations
cup. The Under 14 girls won the Somerset Championship and
came third in the regional finals, while the senior girls’ teams
have won the great majority of their matches. The Under 16
Netball team won the county championship and Erin Slade
has played for the ISFA Ladies’
