Armed with horse chestnuts on strings, students put their hand-eye coordination and structural integrity awareness to the ultimate test. Massive congratulations to Sywell for taking the Upper School crown and Stanwick for winning Lower School! #SchoolConkerChampionship #TraditionalPlay #LearningThroughPlay
