Top-down teamwork Our students seem to absorb the tenets of teamwork by osmosis. Not surprising really, as it’s embedded in our curriculum with other essential skills. Leading from the front is our Head of Sailing, Andy Cornah. A good team worker makes a good crew member aboard any vessel – as Andy must have noticed during the World Sailing Team Racing Championships and when captaining the British American Cup team. As a training partner for the 2012 GB Olympic team and head coach for the British Universities Development Squad, Andy’s belief in teamwork was surely reaffirmed. Today at Sevenoaks, he’s passing it on. And our teams benefit. Over the past 20 years, Sevenoaks School has launched two America’s Cup sailors, two Olympic medallists and four Team GB racers into some pretty lively waters. Often now, Andy goes too.
