Senior Sport – Spring Term 2019

Our small school has proven to have big talent! The U16 Netball team were National Bronze Medallists and there has been a string of successes across all age groups in Netball, Hockey and Lacrosse.

Congratulations to the U13 Hockey team who qualified for the North West Round of the National Schools Tournament. They played some excellent Hockey throughout the day and kept their calm during penalty flicks to go through to the final, where we finished runners up on the day.  Well done girls, a fantastic achievement!
