Girls Football
The girls have had a successful year
making their way through a number
of competitions to the final stages.
The Year 7 and 8 girls’ team made
it through to the Nottinghamshire
County Cup final. An impressive
display from the girls but, unfortunately it ended in a 4-1 defeat to
West Bridgford who also knocked
the girls out of the South Notts
competition at the semi-final stages.
However, 2nd best in the county is a
fantastic achievement.
The Year 10 and 11 girls made it
through as county champions in
the 5 a side Futsal competition. On
Sunday 31st May, they represented Nottinghamshire in the Regional
Finals. They ended as runners up to
a football club from Leicestershire
who won the national competition
the previous year.

Girls Rounders
Both the Year 7 and 8 team, and
Year 9 and 10 team, performed
well in the Broxtowe tournaments.
The Year 9 and 10 team put on an
impressive display but unfortunately
lost out in a three way tie for first
place on rounders scored. This was
after losing a tight final game by ½
a rounder.
The Year 7 and 8 team lost out in the
semi-final to a very good Alderman
White team.

Year 7 Girls Basketball
The girls qualified by beating
George Spencer in the Broxtowe
competition to the county finals.

In May we hosted the Broxtowe Schools Boccia league. The teams
played in two pools and in the final week we reached the final
playing George Spencer. It was a close fought game but we came
second. A great effort by the players and well done to the Year 7
students who officiated the competition themselves.
The SKY Living for Sport Students were met by their athlete mentor
and Olympian, Maria Bertelli at Larkfield Infants Sports Day. The
students were there to help lead some of the activities on the
day and showed great enthusiasm and encouragement to the
youngsters. Maria was proud of them and has watched them
improve their confidence and leadership skills over the year. Year 7
students also came along to help with the day and support the activities;
they were also superb.
Once again, we have achieved the
Bronze Sportsmark this year thanks
to the commitment of staff and students to competitive sports and taking
up leadership opportunities.
Well done to Anna Purchase, Morgan
Gallimore and Amy Keady for their
athletic achievements so far this year
representing Broxtowe and Nottinghamshire. Anna and Morgan have
been chosen to represent the region
in July.
Well done to the Year 8 and 9 leaders who helped at Mornington
Primary School Sports Day on Tuesday 23rd June. They really enjoyed
helping during the day and did a great job including the construction of
gazebos! A fabulous effort on a warm day.
There are more leaders going to help at Hollywell Primary School
before the end of term so good luck to them.
