Year 1 and 2 Festival Hosting the Primary Broxtowe Boccia Competition Well done to the following Year 8 boys who led the Broxtowe Boccia competition for the Primary schools. They officiated with confidence and were really helpful when the children needed rules explaining. Wadsworth Fields Primary School were the winning team with Albany Juniors coming a close second. Well done Jimi Knowles, Alex Cooke, Akash Dewshi and Will Moore. The same boys went to Larkfield Juniors on 2nd December and worked with students from the Juniors and the Infants, teaching them boccia and curling. Broxtowe Primary Schools’ Sports Hall Athletics Competition On Wednesday 11th November, we hosted the Primary School Sports Hall Athletics competition, led brilliantly by the Year 12 leaders and enrichment students. There were 7 schools involved from around the area and 1 point separated the top two with Larkfield Junior School finishing first and Mornington Primary School second. Both schools will go through to the next round of the competition. The Year 10 GCSE PE students did a tremendous job leading the Year 1/2 Festival in October. The students put in a great deal of preparation to practise their leadership skills and organise the activities for the day. The children from our feeder infant and primary schools really enjoyed the event with one little girl saying, ‘it is the best day of my life,’ which I felt had to be a quote to share! Well done to the PE students for their efforts. Primary School Football Tournament Well done to the following students who were officials at the Primary School Football Tournament which was held here on Wednesday 25th November in the afternoon: Charlie Hartshorn, Jack Marshall, Harry Kidger and Colt Simpson. There were also the Year 12 leaders helping, so well done all of you. Handball This year handball clubs have been introduced at lunch time and the school have entered several handball tournaments across different year groups. The Year 8 and 10 boys won the Broxtowe Handball Championships, both beating Hall Park in the final. Both teams have now qualified for the County School Games Tournament in the new year.
