Two pupils were recognised for their outstanding sporting achievements on being presented with national awards of 150. They were Thomas Harrison (triathlon) and Victoria Turner (swimming).

The Under 13 Girls biathlon team at St. Richard's also won an award for their winning performance in the South East Regional Biathlon Championships.
