It was with great pride that Mrs Dickerson and Mrs Botham attended the Kent LTA annual awards ceremony to pick up the much coveted Kent LTA School of the Year Award presented by Austin Smith, President of the Kent LTA. The Junior School was shortlisted for this prestigious award due to the outstanding achievements of its school teams in all age groups at the 2014 Kent Schools’ Team and Doubles Championships.

Mrs Dickerson, Head of Bromley High Junior School, commented, “It is fantastic that both the girls’ and Mrs Botham’s hard work and dedication have been recognised in this way, as tennis, alongside many other sports , is an integral part of life at Bromley High Junior School.”
