The Year 7 and 8 girls’ football team have been working extremely hard in training every Friday since the start of the school year to develop their skills and fitness levels in football. Their commitment and attitude to the sessions has been exceptional and it has been a real pleasure coaching and managing the girls.
They have had some difficult fixtures, but have carried themselves with dignity and shown the character traits that we embed into our pupils every single day. In the recent game against Gateacre, the Year 7 team showed great teamwork and battled through to the end, with Phoebe H (Howson’s) producing some fine saves and Maisie-Merle H (Howard’s) coming very close on a few occasions to score from close range. Even though they lost, there were a lot of positives to take away from the game.
With the continued effort and commitment to training, we are confident that the results will come in the second half of the season. We would like to wish the girls a massive good luck for the rest of the season, with many football tournaments and fixtures already in the diary - keep up the good work girls!

Pupils in Y4, 5 and 6 enjoyed a talk on Friday about Engineering from Mrs Diamond, a teacher in the secondary phase, who previously trained as a chemical engineer. Her engaging talk included battling the misconceptions surrounding Engineering - including gender stereotyping. Mrs Diamond brought with her two pupils who had participated in an Engineering project in the secondary phase called for Go4Set and they described what they had accomplished by taking part. Thank you to Mrs Diamond for taking the time to come and talk to the pupils about Engineering and what an incredibly interesting and rewarding career it could be.
