Friday, 7th February, 2019 Welcome from the Head of School Sometimes I wonder if Dwight is the best kept secret in North London. It is not uncommon for prospective parents to share with me that they have lived in the area for many years and had never heard of Dwight until a friend/colleague/neighbour has told them about the school.

Lower School Report On Wednesday 29th January Dwight took part in the Independent Schools Association five a side (London North) competition. Dwight started off with an excellent 3-0 win over Oaklands School with goals from Lorenzo, Taira and Sachin. Two close 1-2 losses followed against Daiglen and Norfolk House before they got back to winning ways against Charterhouse with a 3-0 win. A good 1-1 draw against a strong Gatehouse side gave Dwight a chance to seal qualification with a win against Akeley Wood, but a disappointing performance meant a 0-3 loss. Dwight now had to win the last group game and hope it would be enough to qualify. A 3-0 win against Egerton Rothesay meant Dwight went through to the knockout stages on goal difference where they would come up against a very strong Normanhurst side in the last 16. After a tight first half Normanhurst took advantage of some mistakes and ran out 2-0 winners.
The team were disappointed they couldn't go further but showed great commitment, respect and enthusiasm throughout the day. They represented Dwight fantastically. A special mention to Lorenzo who scored 7 goals in the tournament and Taira who is in year 4 and showed some great skills. Junior Netball - vs Mounthouse School 03/02/2020 Dwight 1 - 5 Mounthouse School February the 3rd the Dwight upper school had their first junior team netball match, against Mount House School. Unfortunately we had a team member drop out due to an injury but we still made it through and played very well. Our players for this match were Bernardo, Ronika. Khadija, Lily, Yasmina and Gloria. Bernado won best player of the match from Dwight, he was nominated by Mount House and was our star shooter and Yasmina was our team captain. Since we were one player short, one of Mount Houses players joined our team for the match. Unfortunately we didn't win the match but we all had a great time playing with each other. Everyone had great communication throughout the whole match and our passes were on point. This was our first match playing all together and we all played great we couldn't have done this without our team coach Miss Sidoli, who encouraged us and made the whole experience fun. By Yasmina M3 and Gloria M1 Senior Boys Basketball - vs Mill Hill School 06/02/2020 Mill Hill School 49 - 51 Dwight Our Varsity Basketball team faced a well drilled & undefeated Mill Hill School on Thursday 6th February. This was by far the closest game of the season with each quarter being won by the other opponent. The game was full of drama, with one of our starting 5 players, Jan, being fouled out the game, early in the 3rd quarter. Special thanks go to Pooya & Valentine for stepping in & draining 3s & overpowering boys much bigger than them on rebounds. Man of the match goes to Alp for his massive presence, offensively & defensively. This emphatic win has blown the LISBA North London Conference League wide open, with potential to still top the table. GO LIONS!
Junior Boys Football - vs Normanhurst School 06/02/2020 Normanhurst School 7 - 2 Dwight On the 6th of February the junior Dwight football team played against Normanhurst school.The team played very well but still lost (because they were year 10s). We played really well with the ball at our feet even though we lacked size, and we managed to score two goals. Zyan in M3 got man of the match for his effort in midfield and there were some great plays. We were very resilient as a team and kept fighting hard until the end.
