Year 8 Netball
The year 8 netball team had their first fixtures of the season at Parkstone Grammar School. The girls had trained hard through the autumn term and were very keen to start the league games. Ferndown lost the first game, losing 2:1 to a last minute goal against Purbeck but rallied to gain a hard earned draw against St Edwards. They eagerly await the upcoming fixtures to build on their super performances.

On Wednesday our year 8 netball team represented FMS for the final time in the netball league. Many of the girls involved have been playing netball at FMS since year 5 and so it was a poignant moment to see them out on the courts for the last time. The girls finished 5th out of 8 schools, a real achievement and something they should be extremely proud of. Netball club will continue after school on a Monday and we sincerely hope the girls continue to attend and share their experience with our year 5,6 and 7 players. We would like to wish the girls every success as they progress to Upper School and hope they continue to play netball for years to come!

Year 7 Netball
On Tuesday our year 7 netball team played their final league games of the season against Broadstone Middle School, Parkstone Grammar School and Allenbourne Middle School. The girls have thoroughly enjoyed representing the school over the past three weeks and it has been a pleasure to witness their growth in confidence and understanding of the game. They should be immensely proud of the effort and dedication they have shown to the team this year and we very much look forward to seeing them at netball club again next season. Well done girls!
