Exceptional Performance

Holmer Green Senior School is keen to celebrate our Exceptional Performers and promote them as strong role models. We know we have many students who compete, perform, or volunteer at a high level and therefore, we want to recognise the additional commitment they make outside of school and celebrate in their success stories.

In all cases, the students spend their spare time volunteering, training and preparing and balancing this with their studies.  These students visibly demonstrate our mission of striving to be the best possible versions of themselves.  We hope by shining a light on these individuals, that their stories will inspire and encourage others to work hard and have passion so that they also become Exceptional Performers.

If your child is involved in Exceptional Performances, please complete an Exceptional Performance Form below, so we can issue a badge and support where needed.  

Please continue to email us achievements and success stories, so we can highlight these.

Successful applications

Isabella Haslett - Year 8 - Cheerleading

When I first started cheerleading, I was 8 years old and was super excited to try out something new. 5 years in, and I am loving every second of it. In each session, I learn something new and exciting, practise my routine and prepare for cheer competitions. With all the support from my friends, family and coaches, I am pushing myself to my limits and beyond. I have been awarded most improved tumbler and most improved base over the past two seasons.

Some of the things I can do now, I never dreamed were possible before, which is why I wanted to be a positive part of someone else's cheer journey. I had to take a cheerleading qualification and passed so I am now able to coach to a Level 1. For the last year and a half, I have had the opportunity to coach my own team, Claws, which is full of young, enthusiastic children from ages 5 - 6. They are a joy to teach, and I am so grateful that I get to spread my love for cheerleading to younger children who don't fully understand their potential yet.

I am committed to coaching because I want to make a difference. I want to help others push themselves to do things they didn't think were possible and see the spark in them grow. I hope to continue my own learning and will complete more coaching qualifications as soon as I'm old enough to enable me to continue pushing those around me too. 

Fleur Murray - Year 9 - Netball

I started playing netball regularly when I was just 9 years old. I love the teamwork element of the game and how each player can bring different strengths. I play in the centre court and my preferred position is WD, where I help transition the ball from defence to attack. 

I’ve been with my current netball club Clan for 3 years and our team successfully qualified to play at a Regional level. England Netball has 9 regions and we play in the South region which covers Buckinghamshire Berkshire Oxfordshire Sussex and Hampshire, as well as Guernsey and the Isle of Wight. Being part of a Regional netball team involves me training for 6.5 hours per week, plus I attend matches on a weekend where we have to travel all around the South region from Brighton to Reading to Milton Keynes. 

I have also started a journey on the Netball Performance Super League Pathway, and have a place at the London Pulse satellite hub in High Wycombe. My dream would be to one day play professionally for a team in the Netball Super League (NSL) or in the England Roses squad. 

Aaron Christie - Year 10 - Clay Pigeon Shooting

I did my first registered clay shoot in July 2021 at the age of 11 and have been shooting clays ever since. I shoot a Browning 525 shotgun and Eley cartridges. I shoot four different disciplines: English Sporting, Compak Sporting, Super Sporting and Sportrap.

My biggest achievements to date are that I have been part of the England Junior Team at the English Sporting World Championship in America, where the England Junior Team came second and part of the Great Britain Junior Team at the World Compak Championship in Hungry, I have also represented Buckinghamshire at county and intercounty level as an individual and as part of the senior team.

I enjoy shooting as it is a great way to meet new people of all ages and abilities who are willing to offer assistance at any time. Another reason why I love doing it is that it gets me outside in all kinds of weather, helps with hand-eye coordination and is a test of concentration and focus.

One of my main goals is to represent Great Britain and England in the future.
