Howbridge Tournament - football and netball

Congratulations to our boys' football, girls' football and mixed netball teams who competed at the Howbridge Tournament in Witham yesterday. As always the children selected were superb ambassadors for our school and competed fairly. A special mention to our netball team who were the overall winners of the tournament!

Here are some photos of the girls' football team who were runners up in their competition.

Year 5 / 6 Cricket Tournament

Congratulations to our year 5 and 6 cricket team who competed at the recent Colchester Blackwater cricket tournament and were the eventual runners up. I received excellent feedback from the adults who accompanied the team and also teachers from other schools that attended the event. Due to our performance at this event, we have qualified for the county finals later this month.
Thank you to Mr Barnes and Mr Gibbs for taking the team in my absence. Mr Faithfull

Girls Football Festival

Our girls football squad were recently invited by Essex Football Association to take part in a football festival at the home of Beacon Hill Rovers in Wickham Bishops. The girls were able to join in training sessions run by Football Association Skills Coaches and play some short matches against other invited schools.

The girls represented the school brilliantly and their attitude and behaviour brought very favourable comments from several of the organisers. They have all now received an open invitation to attend Beacon Hill Rovers training sessions. Grace and Tabitha were both given awards from the coaching team for their efforts throughout the festival.

A huge thank you from Mr Barnes for the exemplary way in which the girls represented the school and a special thank you to Miss Burrows for her invaluable help on the day. If any of the girls would like to take up a Beacon Hill Rovers' invitation they can either contact the club direct or speak to Mr Barnes who will be pleased to make the arrangements on their behalf.
