Sportshall Athletics at Mountbatten School
Our Year 8 students showcased their athletic talents at a Sportshall Athletics event held at Mountbatten School last week. They competed well against strong competition. Well done to all who participated.
Year 11 Boys Football Triumph
Our Year 11 Boys Football team progressed in the District Cup with a convincing 6-1 victory over John Hanson School last Tuesday. An exceptional team performance saw goals from Dan, Eddie, Logan, Jamie (2), and an own goal. There was a fantastic penalty save by goalkeeper Ben too.
Netball at Mountbatten School
Our U12 and U13 Girls Netball teams travelled to Mountbatten School for a league fixture last Wednesday. Despite both teams losing, they delivered strong performances, particularly the U13s, who played their best game yet against Mountbatten. Well done to all the girls involved.
District Cup Exits
Unfortunately, last week saw our Year 8 Boys Football team and our Year 10/11 Girls Football team exit the District Cup Competition after losses to Thornden and Kings respectively.
Handball Competition at Toynbee School
Our Year 8 team competed in the England Schools Handball Competition (Dorset & Hampshire section) at Toynbee School last week. Despite their best efforts, the team lost both matches against Petersfield School and Toynbee School. This was a valuable experience for the team; well done to those who participated.
U14/U15 Girls Netball at Mountbatten School
Our U14/U15 Girls Netball teams played against Mountbatten School last week. While both teams were unfortunately defeated, the girls put in strong performances and made the games competitive. Well done to all players.
