Girls Football

From the success of the District tournament held at Severn Vale, the girls U14 football team progressed and competed in the county tournament representing Gloucester. Other schools included Cleeve (Cheltenham District), KLB (Stroud District), Dene Magna (Forest of Dean District), Bristol Free School (Bristol District) and Brimsham (South Gloucestershire District). The team played in a 7 aside tournament format with 14-minute matches. The team played exceptionally well, with some fancy footwork, fine saves and solid defending. We won 3 matches, lost 1 and drew in the final deciding match against Dene Magna 1-1, to finish runners up on goal difference. Top goal scorer Freya B (Yr.8). Well done ladies, an excellent achievement. Team: Year 9’s Kimmi T-J (Cpt), Siurii W, Erin S, Katie H, Gemma D, Gia L, Year 8s: Freya B, Amber I, Laila B, Kaitlyn S, Chloe S.

Boys Sport

Term 5 has been the beginning of the summer fixtures for boys including Cricket and Rugby League. 

It was great to see plenty of students attending Rugby League training in preparation for the 1908 Rugby League Tournament held at Churchdown School. The tournament was a real success and a great day out for the boys, giving them a chance to compete in a new sport for the school as well as playing against teammates from other schools.

Year 7 Player of the tournament - Riley Stephens

Year 8 Player of the tournament - Danachi Rutherford

Year 9/10 Player of the Tournament - Darasimi Alabi

Boys Cricket fixtures are underway with the Year 9 boys getting Barnwood of to a good start with a win against Holmleigh Park with Taine Speck scoring an unbeaten 23 runs. 

All year groups have fixtures booked in against Holmleigh Park, Gloucester Academy, Churchdown and Severn Vale over the next term. 

Cricket training will also begin Tuesday (Yr7&8) and Thursday (Yr9&10) afterschool, as well as Softball training Tuesday (Yr9&10) and Thursday (Yr7&8) afterschool.

Year 10 GCSE Food Nutrition & Preparation have had the opportunity to cook with wild Alaskan salmon as part of the Fish in School Hero programme with Mrs Workman.

They learnt about the provenance of the salmon, how to skin fillets and cook them using a wide range of excellent cooking skills. They worked in small teams to create sweet and sour salmon noodle stir fry, salmon goujons, salmon fishcakes and tarragon and salmon tart with a tomato concasse and homemade mayonnaise.

It was a great opportunity to collaborate, try new flavours and food like salmon and tarragon and try new skills including making mayonnaise and skinning salmon. 

Huge Thanks to Food Teachers Centre and Alaska Salmon for this opportunity.
