This year everybody has progressed very well in netball, developing both their individual skills and their match play. From Year 3 through to Year 6, we have taken part in plenty of local and regional matches, as well as in-school competitions. Many of our girls are committed to netball clubs and squads, both inside school and on a Sunday, and we are always very happy to see our girls having so much fun on the courts.
It has been lovely to watch the Year 3s progress and now beginning to play at a more competitive level. I am pleased to report that Year 4 girls are looking very promising; they had a very convincing win over Royal Masonic School, for example, with the A Team winning 14-0 and the B Team winning 3-0.
Year 5 also demonstrated their strong netballing skills throughout the season. They started with an excellent win at the Claires Court Tournament and performed really well at the Berkhamsted Tournament. At the end of the season, they came second at the Maltman’s Green Tournament, beating our rivals Godstowe, Maltman’s, St Mary’s and Claire’s Court. This looks very promising for next year, as we look ahead to the IAPS tournament.
Year 6 have also been very successful. They started off with a friendly tournament at Berkhamsted, followed by close matches against Maltmans, going on to win the Claires Court Tournament. They came up against some very tough competition at the IAPs tournament but nevertheless won the bowl.
A highlight for us this year was when Year 6 attended the Beaconsfield High School netball tournament. The girls demonstrated their excellent netballing skills, persevering in the face of stiff competition and ending up as champions! They then went on to represent South Bucks at the County Finals in Milton Keynes, coming fourth overall out of the whole county.
Netball has been a huge success this year and we are excited to see what next year has in store for us.
