Sporting round-up
Well done to our Year 7 netball team who beat Aylesford 20-18 in a narrowly fought Mid Warwickshire Plate Final this week. They had played Aylesford earlier in the season and had lost quite convincingly so it was great to see how well the team had progressed.
Congratulations also to our Year 8 girls’ sportshall athletics team who represented the area in the Coventry, Solihull & Warwickshire School Games Finals this week. They performed exceptionally well as a team and won team bronze.
