Year 6 Boys v Emmanuel 
In our final league match we played a physical match against our neighbours from Emmanuel. It was great to see the commitment from all involved and there were many of our lads playing their first match for the school this season. Our goals were scored from Josh (2) and Holsten. Henry made some super saves to enable us to win 3-1 and subsequently win our mini league. Well played lads, it was a fantastic way to start the weekend on a Friday evening.

Poole and East Dorset Cross Country at Canford School.
In the third fixture of the season our pupils travelled to Canford School for this testing cross-country fixture. All pupils finished their races and worked tremendously hard to do so. Todd finished in 9th place and we also had strong finishes from Xavier, Connor and Finn. It was pleasing to see all pupils take part and all should be thoroughly proud.

National Badminton Competition at Ferndown Upper School
Our badminton team that consisted of pupils from years 5-8 played in a Key Stage 3 competition at Ferndown Upper. I am delighted that we took all members from our badminton club and had five teams competing. We played against schools from Lytchett Minster, QE, Ferndown Upper, West Moors and Poole Grammar. In some cases our pupils were playing against pupils from Year 9. Overall all pupils had a great afternoon and one of our teams finished top of their group (including Year 9 pupils from QE) to go through to a semi-final against Ferndown Upper. All pupils acquitted themselves brilliantly and enjoyed their taste of competitive matches. I must thank Mark Lever, our Badminton Coach for preparing the pupils in such a professional way.
