The U8/9s travelled to Duke of Kent for their first football fixture. They were both hard fought games and was a good way to start the football season.

Some of our Year 6 pupils also took part in a team Cross Country event at Dorset House on Tuesday.

On a cold and windy afternoon, some of our Year 6 pupils travelled to Dorset House to take part in the annual Cross Country Relay event. The format was simple; run 1 full lap of the circuit and then hand over to the next runner. Once the 4th leg runner crossed the line the team finished. The girls came a very respectable 5th place and the boys finished in the dizzy heights of 2nd! This was a brilliant achievement for both teams as this is a highly competitive event in the cross country calendar.
