The fourth of our PE department’s “In Focus” series featuring our pupils’ sports activities outside NHEHS focuses on keen hockey player Hannah K  from Year 9. “In Focus” is also shared on the PE department’s Instagram account and on the Sports Notice Board.

“My name is Hannah. I am thirteen years old and the sport that I enjoy most is hockey.

I play for Richmond Hockey Club in the U14 team, and I also play for the ladies’ 4ths/5ths team. I am also part of the Middlesex U14 team. I usually play defence or midfield. My training session for U14 is on a Tuesday night from 6:30pm to 8:00pm, while the ladies’ training session is on a Wednesday night from 8:00pm to 9:30pm. I enjoy playing hockey as it involves working towards a common goal with others and it has allowed me to make long lasting friends. It also involves an element of learning new skills that you can use during a game. I think more people should play hockey because it is a very underrated sport.”

If anyone would like to share their story of a hobby or sport that they participate in outside of school, please feel free to email any member of the PE department to be our ‘In Focus’ athlete.
