    What a debut! British qualifier Oliver Tarvet, ranked world No. 733, has stunned Wimbledon by advancing to the second round with a straight-sets victory over Leandro Riedi. The 21-year-old former Marlborough student now faces a potential Centre Court showdown against defending champion and world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz. Tarvet's journey from college courts to the Grand Slam stage is truly inspiring. Next up: a possible clash with Alcaraz on Wednesday. Let's rally behind this rising star! #Wimbledon #Tarvet #ComeOnOllie

    What an incredible achievement for Oliver Tarvet, a former student at The Marlborough Science Academy. Qualifying for the main draw at Wimbledon is no small feat, especially for someone currently ranked world No. 719. At just 21 years old, Oliver has made history as the first British man since 2017 to come through the qualifying rounds and earn a place in the prestigious tournament's main draw. Growing up in St Albans, he began developing his tennis at Batchwood Tennis Academy while studying at Marlborough, before continuing his journey in the United States with collegiate tennis at the University of San Diego. There, he has excelledearning All-American honors and securing a place among the top 10 players in the US college rankings. In the Wimbledon qualifiers, Oliver showcased his grit and talent by defeating three higher-ranked opponents: Térence Atmane of France (world No. 126), Canada's Alexis Galarneau (No. 210), and Belgium's Alexander Blockx (No. 144) the latter in his first-ever best-of-five-sets match. This is only the beginning of what looks set to be an incredible sporting career. The entire Marlborough community is immensely proud and we'll be cheering him on every step of the way.

    National Thank a Teacher Day (OR ANY STAFF AT SCHOOL) is an annual celebration of teachers and support staff across all education settings. This is celebrated on Wednesday 18th June. Teachers play a crucial role in the development and success of students, both academically and personally. Teachers don't just teach content - They encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity. Support staff also play their part by helping shape well rounded individuals in many ways including pastoral support. If you would like to Thank a Teacher (or any other member of staff!) you can do so by visiting https://thankateacher.co.uk/nationalthankateacherday/ where you can send an e card. To all school staff, have a lovely day today. #endeavour #courage #kindness #compassion #dignity #stalbansMums #stalbansparents #stalbansschool #hertfordshireschool #themarlborougscienceacademy #friendsofverulamiumparkssday
