Dear Parents
The highlight of the week has to be the amazing performance of our Under 11 hockey team in the IAPS Midlands tournament on Monday. We have managed to qualify for the national finals for the last four years by finishing in the top 3 or 4, but this is the first time we have won the regional tournament outright.
I managed to watch two of the group games and I have to say the eventual news of the overall victory came as no surprise. The boys played with such speed of thought and movement, where the whole team contributed and we were not reliant on acts of individual brilliance. Our first target in the finals this year is to get through to the knockout phase and then see how far we can get after that. I have already put the date, 18 March, in my diary.
We have finished the week with an open day for prospective parents and I would like to thank the Year 6 pupils in particular for their contribution in showing parents around. They take great pride in their school and are in many ways our best ambassadors. They know the school from the inside, after all. I hope you all enjoyed having a chance to look at the displays around the school in the open corridor event as well. Our next open event is on Saturday 21 March when all the children will be involved and all parents are welcome to come along.
We look forward to another busy week next week with the visit of Affixxius Films and I’m also very pleased to note we are hosting two sets of girls’ netball fixtures on Wednesday and Thursday. Let’s hope the weather holds up for us.
Have a great weekend.
