Tennis
A group of Carthusians and Dr Baugniet (teacher of Modern Languages) completed their Lawn Tennis Association Level 2 tennis coaching qualification at the Queen’s Club, London. Overall, the programme is the most comprehensive of its type run by any school and Charterhouse is probably unique in developing this number of tennis coaches to such a high level. These pupils are now well along the path to becoming professional tennis coaches and will be able to coach during gap years and at university - as well as benefitting from all the other general skills that the course develops (such as leadership, communication and planning).
A dozen Remove tennis players conducted pre-season tennis training at Erquy Tennis Club, Brittany. Matches and games were also played within the group and against local players. Overall the group had a good time and found the experience useful.

Toby Rawlings (Year 10) partnered with Alex Moore, (Year 9), reaching the Quarter Finals of the Peter Gray Cup (Junior Colts Competition) with two assured victories over Clifton College and then Winchester. Despite being heavily outgunned they stuck to their game plan and played with a calm assurance and intelligence before exiting to an extremely talented top seeded Tonbridge pair.
