Habs is excited to announce that the School has, once again, been selected as one of the Top 100 Cricketing Schools listed in The Cricketer Schools Guide 2021.

Mr Simon Hughes, Editor at The Cricketer: "This year’s Schools Guide is particularly important in showcasing our schools who have kept the game alive through a very challenging summer. Whether it has been remote video sessions, drills in the garden or even Zoom quizzes, schools cricket has emerged resolutely from this pandemic and the appetite to get back out on the playing fields is palpable.

"There should be deserved praise for all the teachers, coaches and volunteers who have put in so much hard work, in the most difficult of circumstances, to preserve a love of the game among the next generation. Congratulations to all of the schools included and we look forward to hearing about all of your future successes."

Despite this being a particularly challenging year for school sport, especially cricket, there have been many positives to take here at Habs. There is still a growing desire to play cricket and since the return to school, cricket training has been very well attended and successful. The School is putting in place more fixtures at C, D and E team level, as well as increasing the level of rigour for our more elite players. It is encouraging that we have more players than ever representing Middlesex, Berkshire and Hertfordshire at county, regional, borough and district level. Including three students currently on the Middlesex Academy. 

Mr Lock, Headmaster, commented: "I am delighted that The Cricketer Magazine has again placed Habs in the Top 100 Schools. We pride ourselves on excellence not only inside the classroom but beyond it as well. Despite the restrictions brought on by the pandemic, it is encouraging to see the continuing development, and success, of cricket at the School. Congratulations to our pupils, teachers and coaches for adapting to make this year another outstanding one at Habs."
