• Mixed Netball Rally

  Mon 25 Mar 2024

  This afternoon, we took two teams to take part in the District Mixed Netball Rally Competition, which was held at Ryefield School.  Both teams played very well throughout the group phase of the competition: with Team B winning one of their three games and Team A winning two of their three games.  Unfortunately, only our A team progressed to the quarter-finals.  Their quarter-final match was against St. Catherine's and our team won this match 7-1.  This meant that we progressed to the semi-finals, where we faced a very good Hermitage A team.  Despite playing excellently in this match, we lost 6-2 and did not progress to the final.  However, we did lose to the eventual winners of the competition.  All sixteen pupils thoroughly enjoyed the competition and Team A were proud to take away bronze medals from today's event.  Well done!  Thank you to all of the family members who came along to support our teams! 

  

• Junior Citizen Activity Programme

  Wed 20 Mar 2024

  On Wednesday 20th March, all of the Year 6 pupils attended the Junior Citizen Activity Programme, which took place at Brunel University.  This programme was an active safety programme in which the children took part in mock-ups of dangers they may face in everyday life.  Organisations that were involved included; the NHS, Fire Brigade, RNLI, police and TFL.  Children also learnt about online safety, road and bike safety.  This trip was very beneficial as it followed the basic principles of raising the pupils' awareness of their own personal safety and the safety of others around them.  The trip was thoroughly enjoyed by all and our pupils found it very informative and beneficial.

  

• Boys' Netball Rally

  Thu 14 Mar 2024

  Today we took eight boys to participate in this year's district boys' netball rally, which was held at Ryefield School.  Despite the wet weather and cold conditions, our team was full of enthusiasm and energy and they applied themselves fully in all of their group phase matches of this competition.  Their amazing teamwork and skill in each of their games showed as they progressed to the semi final stage of the competition.  We played against a very strong Oak Farm team but unfortunately, we did not progress to the final (however, we did lose to the eventual winners of the competition).  The boys thoroughly enjoyed the competition and they were proud to take away bronze medals from today's event.  Well done boys!  Thank you to all of the family members who came along to support our team!
