St Andrew’s Prep in the country’s top 50 for cricket
St Andrew’s Prep is delighted to have been named in the top 50 prep schools in the country in The Cricketer Good Schools Guide 2019 magazine. Over 350 entries (across prep and secondary schools) were judged against an extensive set of criteria and the successful schools are deemed to have the best facilities, fixture programme and coaching in the country.
Gareth Jones commented, “I’m delighted by St Andrew’s Prep’s inclusion in this publication. Our cricketers benefit from our superb indoor and outdoor practice and playing facilities which allow us to host local cricket clubs in addition to our own schools fixtures. All our girls and boys, from Year 3 to Year 8, learn to appreciate this wonderful game and to achieve their own potential.”
The Cricketer magazine editor Simon Hughes commented: “This is a superb publication that serves both as an informative guide and as a tribute to all those teachers and coaches out there who are nurturing the talents of future club, county and international cricketers. I have been lucky enough to visit a number of school matches this summer, and am pleased to note that the standard of cricket, coaching facilities and enthusiasm for the game has been as high as I can recall. The competition to be included was fierce. Congratulations to all of the schools included and please keep up the good work.”
The magazine will be on sale from Friday 23 November alongside the December issue of the magazine. A digital version of the guide will also be available on The Cricketer website from Friday December 14. For more information on the guide, please visit The Cricketer Good Schools Guide website.
