County Cricket Call Up For Amy

Amy Robinson has just been selected for the Warwickshire’s Development of Excellence Cricket Squad for their U11 Girls.  Amy, who is in Year 5 at Crescent School, is only nine-years-old and has been playing cricket since she was six. She currently plays for Oakfield and Rowlands Cricket Club, in their U11 team.

Amy took part in a six-week trial with the Warwickshire coaches at Edgbaston during October and November where she showed her hardball batting, bowling and fielding skills. She will now train weekly at Edgbaston through the winter until March honing her cricket skills, with a view to being selected for the summer squad to play matches against other counties.

Amy is a key member of the school’s U11 cricket team and was nominated for the county trials by Head of Sport, Matt Phillips. She is one of only 20 girls selected for the squad.  Amy impressed the coaches with her all-round excellent play.

Head of Sport, Matt Phillips comments, “We are very proud of Amy, she is a talented and exciting cricketer and this is a great opportunity for her. We look forward to following her progress over the winter in the Development Squad.”

Amy is thrilled, commenting, “I love playing cricket.” And so she should be, as being selected for the Development Squad is a real achievement and a pathway onto the Regional and National Academy programmes.

Successful Open Evening And Plenty Of Interest For Reception 2020

On Tuesday 19 November Crescent School held a dedicated Reception Open Evening. It was an opportunity for prospective families to visit the school, listen to a presentation, view children’s work and talk to members of the Reception and Early Years Team.

The evening was very successful and the school was delighted to showcase what makes Crescent so special.

Parents are reminded that the deadline for Early Bird applications for places in the Reception class next year is Monday 25 November 2019. Offers to Early Bird applicants will be posted first class on Monday 16 December, with an acceptance deadline of Monday 6 January.

For those who missed this week’s Open Evening there is one further opportunity to visit the school, before the final deadline for Reception applications closes, as the school will be holding an Open Day on Friday 24 January from 10.00am to 3.00pm.

Place2Be Thanks Crescent School For Fantastic Donation

Crescent School has received a lovely letter from Place2Be thanking pupils, families, staff and the Friends of Crescent for our recent donation of £1,050.24.

Place2Be was the school’s charity for the 2019 Trinity Term and just before the May half-term pupils took part in a non-uniform Hat Day to raise funds for their work.  The Friends of Crescent supported pupil’s fundraising efforts with their own event, a sponsored walk, run, scoot or cycle around Draycote Water.

The charity Place2Be provides school-based support and in-depth programmes to improve the well-being of pupils, families, teachers and school staff. You can find out more information about their work on their website here
