'Be the best you can be'

After the visit of Olympian James Dasaolu back in July, our Sports Leaders came up with the idea of a new trophy to commemorate James' visit and picked a suitably Olympic themed trophy for our four teams to compete for each year. They also decided that the trophy should be named 'The Dasaolu Trophy.'
Additionally, to stop Sports Day being a stand alone event at the end of the year, we are introducing Level 1 competitions throughout the school during PE. At the end of a games-based unit of work, children will partake in a low-stakes intra-school competition within their classes, participating in their Sports Day teams (Teams Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). This also ties in with National Curriculum requirements which state children should engage in competitive sports and activities and be able to do so in a range of increasingly challenging situations. Scores, results and points will be collated across the year and will be added to the points collected on Sports Day to find who will lift the Dasaolu Trophy!
Competition schedules, results and current standings will be posted on our new PE board which will be hung on the playground.
This promises to be an exciting new initiative for the children and one that we hope ensures a lasting legacy from James' visit.

With the Paris 2024 Olympic Games just around the corner, we are delighted to be able to tell you that we will be welcoming former Olympian, Team GB athlete and double European Gold medalist James Dasaolu to our Olympic-themed Sports Day this year.
Sports Day will take place on the morning of Friday 5th July (time TBC) with a reserve day booked for the following Friday.
James will be joining us to lead a warm up, before talking to the children about his career, his path to the top of world athletics, competing against Usain Bolt and will then be a special guest - and participant - at Sports Day itself.

Thanks to Cricket Shropshire and the Chance to Shine charity, Tuesday 30th April 2024 saw us have a brilliant day of cricket at our Cricket Engagement Day today. Our enthusiastic coach Nigel has worked with all of our pupils (from Year 6 to Nursery) to help develop catching, throwing and batting skills. There has been lots of hard work, fun, laughter and, unusually for cricket, we even managed to get a sunny day too!
