October 2025
We took two teams the hockey tournament at the Heber Tournament. Our gold team gave it their all. Edith and Layla both scored in a win and a draw, finishing in sixth place. Our Stripes team were fantastic. They won 3 and drew 2, only conceding a goal in the last seconds of their last game. Once again, it came down to goal difference. We lost by 1 goal again! Runners Up.
It was the first race of the WCAC Schools Cross Country series. 17 of our athletes took part. Austin in Year 3 claimed a bronze medal. In Year 4, Jessica once again won silver and Hattie ran brilliantly to win bronze again. For the boys, Dash, on his debut won a bronze medal. Last year's champion, Blake, ran a brilliant tactical race to win a silver medal. Finally, Polly once again found herself on the top of the podium to win gold. Gold: 1 medal; Silver: 2 medals; Bronze: 3 medals
We took a team to the U11s Girls Chester City tournament. The girls were great, winning 2 of their group matches. They topped the group and played in the semi-final. We lost to Our Ladys 1 - 0. Third Place
November 2025
We were defending Champions from last year for the indoor athletics for Year 3 and 4 and after 3 runners up finishes, second wasn't an option. Our children competed in sprints, hurdles, javelin, long jump and other field events. And what a team performance it was! First place and gold medal! Champions
Our Year 5/6 football team particpated in the Christleton tournament. Matches were only 8 minutes, so it was tough. We drew 0-0 with Christlton, beat Bougthon Heath and Hoole 1 - 0, but a 1 - 0 defeat to Cherry Grove cost us as we finished second in the group by 1 point.
Round 2 of the WCAC Schools Cross Country and we took a large team. Dexter, Finlay , Thomas and Iddy made their debuts. And Will from Year 3, who was there to watch his brother, swapped his jumper and jeans for running shorts and took part in the race. Annie ran strongly to finish well inside the top 10. Austin had another strong performance with a 4th place. Dash wasn't satisfied with his bronse medal from last time, and raced to the gold! Alfie returned and he finished well within the top 10. Anna was comfortable in 3rd, but stitch meant she finished fourth. There was another medal for Polly in Year 6, but this time it was silver. A huge well done to everyone. Gold: 1 medal; Silver: 1 medal
December 2025
Our Girls football team took part in the Christleton tournament and did amazingly well. They played 4 matches and were unbeaten and didn't even concede a goal. They beat Acresfield 3 - 0 and St Clares 1 - 0. They had goaless draws against Christleton and Waverton. It meant a second place finish in the group so they didn't quite make the semi finals, but they can be very proud of how well they played.
Our Year 5 and 6 athletes participated in the Indoor Athletics tournament at the Heber. Sadly, we had a lot of withdrawals from the team with illness or other commitments. However, all our athletes took on multiple events and gave it their all! They finish third, only four points behind the winners. An incredible effort.
