Celebrating Strength, Spirit, and Success: Sports Awards Evening 2025

St Mary’s School, Cambridge, recently hosted its annual Sports Awards Evening – a vibrant celebration of the strength, spirit, and success of our student athletes.

The evening recognised the dedication and determination of students across a wide range of sports, from individual achievements to outstanding team contributions. Awards were presented to those who have demonstrated not only athletic excellence but also leadership, resilience, and sportsmanship throughout the year.

We were honoured to welcome Olympic gold medallist Susannah Townsend MBE as our guest speaker. Her inspiring address, full of energy and honesty, encouraged our students to aim high, work hard, and back themselves – both on and off the pitch. Drawing on her own experiences as part of Team GB’s victorious women’s hockey team, Susannah spoke about the power of self-belief, the importance of teamwork, and the value of pushing through challenges.

Her message resonated deeply with students and staff alike, leaving a lasting impression on everyone in the room.

Thank you to all who made the evening such a success, and most of all to our incredible students – your commitment, passion, and achievements make our sporting community stronger every day.
