Badminton Finals
Congratulations to our four badminton superstars Ethan, Kristian, Liam and Samuel who made it to the Dorset County Badminton Final on Thursday 1st of February. Having already beaten Ferndown Upper School in the semi-finals, it was a huge achievement for the boys to make it to the finals at LEAF Academy. All of the boys played extremely well and showed incredible grit and determination. They competed in a range of doubles and singles matches and finished 5th overall in the KS3 boys category. A special thank you to their coach Mark Leaver who has been training them every Friday at our school Badminton club.

Year 8 Football
The Year 8 football team progress onto the next round of the County Cup with a 3-2 victory over Poole High School. Ferndown started strong and found themselves 2-0 up at half time, before a third was scored shortly after the break. The game looked to be won, but a lack of concentration saw Poole score twice in a short space of time to make for a very nervous last ten minutes. Ferndown held on to win the game and face Budmouth School in the next round.

Indoor Athletics
Well done to our 8 athletes that competed in the East Dorset Indoor Athletics event on Wednesday 24th January. It was their first time taking part in this particular event and they definitely did the school proud showing a massive amount of determination and effort. The team were up against 6 other schools, finishing in 6thplace.
