Executive Principal’s Blog – 25.9.26: ‘A Worthy Winner….’
It was great to capture a photo of our latest worthy winner of the 2026 Bushey Meads School Inspiring Sports Achievement Trophy. Many of you are aware that this prestigious trophy is awarded to one student each year at our annual Rewards Evening and is a cup that has been donated by the father (John Rugg) of one of our past students who excelled at sport whilst at Bushey Meads School in the late 90s.
John’s son Jamie was particularly talented at basketball and was nominated to be the Most Valuable Player in the year the senior basketball team won the Hertfordshire School’s Basketball Championship in 1995. In those days the Basketball Championship was held across all secondary schools in the county, so it was a particularly inspiring achievement – beating over 100 schools to reach and win the prestigious competition. Sadly, Jamie passed away a few years ago but, through the donation of the hugely significant trophy, his memory will live on in our hearts – across and beyond our school community. Mr Rugg has also generously offered to get the cup engraved each year with the name of the worthy winner and also provide a smaller replica trophy for the winner each year to keep forever.
Bella (in Year 9 last year), as one of our extremely talented footballers, was delighted to be awarded with the amazing award last term and can now see her name engraved on the cups and is able to take the replica cup home. She fully understands that she has a key role in the school to be an excellent ambassador for achievement to all students in the school and will be the one to hand the baton over to next year’s winner.
