With the Paris Olympics putting a spotlight on fencing, the games highlighted the triumphant return of one of the oldest sports. Hosted within the Grand Palais, the event was full of competitiveness, elegance, skill and on occasion, some controversy.
Statistics from British Fencing indicate that there has been a significant increase in the number of children participating in the sport, a figure which has risen steadily over the past decade.
Since 2018, fencing at Moreton has grown exponentially, with more pupils choosing fencing as a hobby or professional activity.
Evie Evans, an Old Moretonian, became a World Top 200 fencer as well as a Great Britain U20 International Fencer. Whilst Oliver Hewitt, also an Old Moretonian, has recently been selected for the Great Britain U14 and U17 teams within the same calendar year. Additionally, every year, Moreton enters fencers into the prestigious Public Schools Fencing Championship, with Oliver winning two medals at the competition.
Mike Evans-Jones, Head of Fencing at Moreton Hall School and Director of Welsh Fencing who has also competed internationally, said: “This is a sport which is evolving and expanding, and we, at Moreton, are excited to be part of this growth. Fencing allows young athletes to express themselves and I have witnessed first-hand the many benefits to health, wellbeing, social and sporting development.”
Moreton Hall offers a dedicated programme for competitive fencers as well as novices. The fencing programme focuses on sabre fencing, one of the fastest of the three disciplines of modern fencing.
With a proven track record for success, Moreton has produced athletes who have competed for Great Britain within two years of starting the sport. These outstanding achievements in fencing reflect the commitment and excellence that defines Moreton’s athletic programmes.
