PARTICIPANTS (Who is taking part): Please access the link below to see who has registered for the tournament. We have had a huge amount of interest this year which is fantastic! Due to the high number of participants, the competition will be a knockout draw. When students lose their match, they will return to Heaton and continue with their normal school day/routines. This means that participants must have their full school uniform with them, and all the class equipment they require for the day.
