The year 5/6 boys’ team came joint first in their District League, qualifying to move up to County Level and the North Yorkshire County competition in Richmond in January, which they won, becoming North Yorkshire County Champions. This enabled them to progress on to the Regional Round of this National tournament at Liverpool Academy in March.
Not to be outshone, the year 5/6 girls’ team recently won their tournament at Hopgrove Playing Fields, competing against nine other schools from the York area, not conceding a single goal throughout the entire tournament.
School Games Organiser Kev Davies wanted to highlight:
“…how well the boys handled setbacks, persevered, and achieved such a fantastic outcome. Their resilience was remarkable, and they are a credit to the school, and their parents – it’s well-deserved recognition.”
Laura Drake (PE Lead) said:
“It has been wonderful to see so many children taking part in sporting competitions this year and enjoying the excitement and pride that comes with representing their school.
We are absolutely thrilled with the success of both our boys’ and girls’ football teams. Becoming County Champions and winning a local tournament are fantastic achievements that reflect the pupils’ dedication, teamwork, and the progress they have made across the year.
Both teams have shown incredible commitment, resilience in matches and a positive attitude. Their hard work and determination have been a real inspiration to the whole school community.
We’re passionate about promoting a lifelong love of sport and it’s been a joy to see the children relish the opportunity to take part in competitive games. Two of our core values are inspiration and excellence, we certainly believe our pupils are embodying these values.”
