Victory over West Craven for Year 7 and 8 Netball Teams!
On Tuesday 22nd March Year 11 students took part in a 'Mock Results Day'. This gave students an opportunity to experience similar feelings to those in the summer when they receive their final GCSE results. Mock Exams are tough and the reason we have Mock Exams is to highlight what we know and where we need to focus for these last few months. The day started with an assembly from Mr Allen before students collected results. A very positive day and an excellent opportunity for students to reflect.
Our Year 9 B Team Football enjoyed a great tournament at Fisher More tonight finishing second with lots of goals. A 0-0 draw with Fisher More was followed with wins against Pendle Vale 4-0, West Craven 3-0 and Marsden Heights 2-0. In the final game our lads lost 1-0 against eventual winners Primet.
Goalscorers were spread around the team: Alfie Franks (1 goal), Oliver Sanderson (2 goals), Alfie Davies (2 goals), Harry Smith (2 goals), Daniel Ormerod (1 Goal), and Kasim Nevison (1 goal)
Special mention to Decaln Brown and Josh Greenwood who were solid in defence in front of the reliable Max Kibble in goal.
