A huge well done to the football team for a great first evening back.

We had an unlucky loss against Blackhall Primary School but pulled it back against Wheatley Hill with a 4-2 win.

Tyler scored 2 amazing goals and Jack and James also scored.

Well done boys, keep it up!

Year 5 and 6 represented our school at the Athletics festival. They took part in a variety of field and track events, working as a team and individually.
