Module Football Tournaments
Starting on Tuesday 17th April with Year 3, each day we held a Football Tournament for each year groups.
Football
Football training takes place for girls and boys every week, see the clubs page for club times.
Off the field, we have been lucky to take groups of children to Wembley for England fixtures and are also in partnership with Reading FC from whom we receive regular tickets for matches.
Cricket
The school is lucky to have many keen staff cricketers, so we compete in all the district/county tournaments. See the clubs page for cricket club in the summer term.
Athletics
The school has an excellent recent record of producing athletes who go on to perform for the county. We host an annual sports day which is always a huge success with every pupil taking part in activities as well as some individual events.
Netball
Netball Club is run by Mrs Dickens. It is for boys and girls and has been running for several years now, last year we entered a series of local tournaments where the teams were able to compete well and improve hugely for their experiences.
As a school, we are always on the look out for any opportunities to take part in sport.
