NETBALL2024 - 2025 has been a great year of netball and all the girls have developed their individual skills and match play very well. From Years 3 to 6, we have played lots of local and regional matches. There are lots of girls who are committed to netball clubs and squads, both inside of school and on a Saturday or Sunday. We are always very happy to see our girls having so much fun on the courts and, in some cases, progressing to local clubs.It has been great watching the Year 3 girls progress and now beginning to play at a more competitive level; they all thoroughly enjoyed their very successful whole year group matches at Godstowe.Year 4 are now looking very promising and they had some very convincing wins over Royal Masonic School and Godstowe.The Year 5s started the season with excellent wins by the A, B and C Teams at Maltman%u2019s Green whilst the D Team narrowly lost out. The girls then went on to play a very successful fixture at Godstowe, with all 4 teams winning. The year group then travelled to RMS and the highlight was all 4 teams winning again. We travelled to Westbrook Hay, this time experiencing a mixture of wins and losses. In the St George%u2019s Tournament, the A Team played very well and they came 4th overall and the girls went on to finish the season brilliantly, winning the Pipers Corner Tournament. All in all, they have had a very successful season and year of training; this looks very promising for next year and, in particular, preparing for the IAPS tournament.Year 6 had a very busy but nevertheless outstanding season. They started off with a year group fixture at RMS, with 3 wins and 2 losses. The year group then travelled to Maltman%u2019s and all 4 teams won. The next year group fixture was against Godstowe where the A Team notched up a win of 12-9. The A Team enjoyed some very tough competition at the IAPS qualifying competition at Wellington College and were delighted to qualify for the quarter finals where they had a narrow 7-5 loss. The A Team finished their netball career at High March winning the Beechwood Park Tournament after a thrilling draw in the final and then going on to win in extra time. We were so proud of this achievement and the girls themselves all for their dedication and hard work. We wish them every success with their netball journey at their new schools.Netball has been a huge success this year and we are excited to see what next year has in store for us.Mrs Butterfield, Head of PE28
