The Arete Championships 2025

On Monday 16th June 2025, over 200 students came together to represent their schools in the Arete Championships, a fantastic celebration of sport, competition, and teamwork. 

The event saw several students represent their schools for the first time in a range of activities including badminton, mountain biking, indoor rowing, tennis, dodgeball, rounders and, for the first time, dance. Every participant competed with determination and pride, showcasing excellent sportsmanship throughout the morning. 

The event was very enjoyable and saw students competing alongside students from different year groups. Woking High School and Gordon’s were joint winners with Woking High School coming first for the second year running. Robert May’s School came a close second place winner. All the teams received an Arete medal during the presentation ceremony, in recognition of their efforts and participation, with the winners taking home the Arete Cup. 

Mr Harrison, Director of Sports at Gordon’s, said ‘It was a brilliant morning of sport and spirit – well done to all involved!’
