Sporting achievements
Well done to our Year 6 football team, who proudly represented our school this week in the Preston Schools Kid’s Cup Football Tournament. The team played brilliantly throughout the competition, winning their group with some excellent teamwork, determination, and skill. Although they were narrowly defeated in the quarter-finals, we are incredibly proud of their fantastic effort and sportsmanship. Well done, boys – you were a credit to the school! ⚽👏
