SPORTS REPORT

29th September

Year 2 Rugby Skills Festival

Twelve children went to TAB Junior school to try their hand at some rugby skills. They kicked, passed, tagged and ran their way around the circuit and had a fantastic time!

6th October

Year 2 Multiskills

This time it was nine of our girls who went to Chesswood for a circuit of multi skills activities. The children took part in games that tested their kicking, throwing, catching, aiming, running and more!

They were enthusiastic throughout and represented the school wonderfully.

7th October

Year 6 Netball Shoot-out

A team of our year 6 girls went to Goring to take part in a football style penalty shoot-out. The girls played against several different schools and, as is the way with penalty shots, they scored some, they missed some, they won some and they lost some! But they had a great time throughout.

13th October

Year 5 Football Tournament

Joint winners!

Ten schools competed at St Andrews in the year 5 football tournament. The boys defended extremely well in all of their pool matches and recorded wins against Heene (2-0), Goring (1-0) and Whytemead (3-0). The only blemish was a 1-0 defeat to TAB but the team had still secured 1st place in the pool and played Vale in the final. After going a goal behind, the team showed brilliant character and, deservedly, earned a draw thanks to Jimmy’s superb long range strike. The game finished 1-1 and the teams were declared as joint winners!

16th October

Years 3-6 Cross country

13 schools competed and we placed in the following positions…

Y3 girls 5th place. Y3 boys 6th place.

Y4 girls 8th place, Y4 boys 8th place.

Y5 girls 7th place, Y5 boys 7th place.

Y6 girls 6th place, Y6 boys 8th place.

It was an incredible effort from all 50 of our children who took part on Saturday at the cross country event at the Gallops. We’re very proud of all of them for taking part in what is always a very tough competition. There were some great individual performances and it was, as always, very pleasing to see the children encouraging and supporting each other as they ran the course.

19th October

Year 6 Netball

5th in group

Some of our netballers went to Davison High School for a netball festival. They defended really well throughout but found goals hard to come by and finished 5th in what was a very tough group. They enjoyed the experience though and it will only benefit them going into future competitions!

As in recent years, parents are being encouraged to apply for their child’s school place using the online system at www.westsussex.gov.uk/admissions. Applications must be submitted by the national closing date of Saturday 15 January 2022. The online system opened yesterday Monday 4 October 2021.

For parents who do not have access to the Internet at home, free access has been arranged at all libraries and Children and Family Centres within West Sussex, where staff will be on hand to assist parents making their application. 

Parents resident in West Sussex must complete an official West Sussex County Council application in order to apply for a school place. 

Applications not made by the closing date cannot be considered until after all other applications have been considered. This may mean it is not possible to offer a child a place at a local school.

Safety:

Please can all jewellery be removed before coming to school and hair that is longer than shoulder length be tied back.

Traffic:

Please can I remind you not to park on the zig-zags outside the school or across residents' driveways. We have had a number of complaints from both parents and residents on the matter.
