NOTTING Hill & Ealing High School is ranked in the Top 20 all-girls schools in a national survey highlighting the best in the UK for cricket.
The survey, carried out by The Cricketer Magazine, covers schools who have a commitment to cricket in the curriculum, facilities, fixtures and coaching.
The Cricketer consulted former England star Lydia Greenway and her coaching initiative, Cricket for Girls, in selecting the Top 20.
Sophie Nicholas, Director of Sport at Notting Hill & Ealing High, said: “Our first ever all female cricket team dates from 1887.
“The sport has stayed core to our curriculum ever since and we have worked hard, especially in recent years, to create a thriving cricket environment for our students including a partnership with coaches from Ealing Cricket Club.
“And this past year, in particular, we have seen some major triumphs, with our U12s winning the London Schools Indoor Lady Taverners Cup - a title we have held since 2018 - and our U15s reaching regional finals, representing Middlesex.”
