Fantastic progress and determined play as the netball teams faced tough opponents.
Fulham FC International Women's Day event 03.03.2025
Having had a well-earned, successful first group stage of the league last term, we progressed through as winners of our group to the top pool for this second half. This pitches us against the top teams from the other groups and so we knew that this would prove difficult and that we may find the games a little too challenging at this point.
On Friday 14th February, a group of children from Years 5 and 6 took part in the Sitting Volleyball competition at Avenue Primary School.
The boys football team had a fairly challenging defeat this week, but showed grit and determination to only concede one goal in the second half, compared to six in the first half. A brave show to keep going, well done everyone for keeping your heads up high.
Our Year 4 Kurlers proved tough opposition today at Avenue Primary winning 3 out of 4 of their games and coming fourth overall out of 9 teams in the event.
The annual Sports Hall Athletics is always a fun event in the sports calendar.
Most schools across the Borough take part across a number of heats, comprising of 8 schools per heat. As you can imagine, this is a busy, loud and exciting event and every competitor we took competed in 2 track and 1 or 2 fields events. The field events are mostly standing versions of standard sports days activities such as standing long jump, standing vertical jump and foam javelin. The track events are all relays, some are straight sprint relays but an obstacle and an over/under relay are also included to bring some slightly different skills to the usual running races.
The children need to be quite switched on – they have to get to their events and switch between using different skills and working with different people quickly. When the competition starts you have to be ready to step up for your next event as it doesn’t wait for you! Understanding the rules for the track events is also key and as the set up for this is very different from the outdoor athletics events the children take part in it means everyone has to be sure that they’ve listened to all the instructions given.
The Dorchester team were fantastic – we were so pleased with how they conducted themselves, how they gave every event they took part in their all and the determination they showed in doing their very best. Finishing 5th overall in our heat was a very respectable result.
Well done to Kieran, Macey, Nathan, Aiya, Connor, Lily, Austin, Lola, Teddy, Gkalena, Roman, Juliette, Kian, Hannah, Louie, Amelie, Dylan and Cleo.

Great start to the year for our football team with a fantastic 4-2 win over Abbey Primary and after coming back from 0-2 down this demonstrates what resilience and self-belief the boys had in their ability and teamwork.

Great effort everyone!
What a trophy! What a superstar!
