Wellington College proudly hosted the Stage One of the National Schools Squash Championships 2025/26, welcoming teams from across the region for a fantastic day of competition.
Huge congratulations go to our team of five Wellington girls, Charlotte M, Dari R, Linda R, Ella M and Grace L who displayed focus, determination and skill throughout the day. Their consistent performances saw them finish second overall, securing a well-deserved place in the National Championship Stage Two, which will take place early next year.
The competition featured strong teams from Peter Symonds, Downe House, Oxford High and High Wycombe. Wellington performed brilliantly across all matches, amassing an impressive 481 total points, just behind overall winners Peter Symonds.
Each fixture consisted of three games to 11 points, with every point from every game contributing to the overall team total. This format means that every rally counts and rewards consistency and determination across the entire line-up, making it a true team effort from start to finish.
Head of Squash Steve Meads praised the team’s commitment and performance:
“I’m very proud of the team, the day showed that all the hard work they’ve put in really does pay off. It was great to see such competitive squash being played across all five courts, and we look forward to hosting future championship events here at Wellington.”
A big thank you to all our visiting teams for contributing to such a brilliant day of squash and sporting spirit.
The National Schools Championships, organised by England Squash, will continue with the Regional ‘Championship’ Stage in February 2026, leading to the national finals at Edgbaston Priory Club in March. Wellington’s squad will now prepare for the next round as they continue their impressive run in this year’s competition.
