The girls football A team travelled to The Wroxham in Potters Bar this afternoon to take on their fellow strongest A teams from across the district. This fine elite included: Cranborne, Cuffley, Ladbrooke, Little Heath, Oakmere and The Wroxham. 

Despite being in the 'group of death'(!), our plucky girls topped this (after a particularly tough 0-0 draw with Cuffley thanks to Bella's goalkeeping prowess and an incredible 6-0 victory against Cranborne with 5 (yes, FIVE!) goals from super striker Jasmine and a single from Evie). In a superb display of football, our semi-final was brilliantly battled against Little Heath. Wonderful midfield teamwork from Ellie, Mila and Tegan contributed greatly to our 2-0 win, with both goals scored by our Captain Fantastic, Evie. 

In the final, we were pitted against The Wroxham, who were keen to win as tournament hosts. Despite them throwing everything against us, wonderful defensive work from Fran and Hannah retained our clean sheet. Meanwhile, in what can only be described as a 'wonder goal', we took the lead thanks to the exceptional combination of Evie's pinpoint pass and Jasmine's intelligent run to finish with aplomb. A further two goals soon followed courtesy of Evie, and Bella ONCE AGAIN kept a clean sheet in goal to ensure our 3-0 score line upon the final whistle. 

With no goals conceded, a draw and all the other games resulting in wins, we joyously held the trophy aloft. What a fine start to the competitive season, girls! Miss Kropman is SO proud of all of you and would like to award the whole team the Player of the Tournament accolade!  

Our Year 5 boys took part in the first Football  fixtures afternoon at Monks Walk School this week. They played brilliantly and worked really well as a team. Winning 1, drawing 1 and losing 1. A great start boys!

This week a group of our Year 6 children took part in an Athletics Competition at Gosling Sports Centre. They competed in sprint heats, sprint finals and relays. 

The children worked really hard and put in every effort to get great results in their races. Their teamwork was amazing and they supported each other brilliantly.

The girls did really well but unfortunately just missed out on a medal place. The boys however won 1st place overall with Harry and James both placing in medal positions in their individual races. 

Well done everyone!

The Netball Club took part in the first netball fixtures event of the year this afternoon and made a fabulous start to the season. In their first games against other schools in 12 months the girls worked really hard, co-operated as a team and supported each other brilliantly. They played 3 matches. Winning 2 and losing 1. 

The results were as follows: 

St Johns Digswell 3-0 Brookmans Park

Commons Wood 0-3 Brookmans Park

St Johns 0- 2 Brookmans Park

Well done girls!

Year 5 had a fantastic afternoon at Monks Walk Running Festival.

All the children ran in either the competitive race or the Fun Run and put in an amazing effort. We came 1st overall and all the children contributed to our winning result.

Ellie, Johnny, Hunter, Pantelis and Archie and have also qualified to continue to the Welwyn Hatfield running finals next week. 

Eliza came 3rd in the Fun Run event and smiled all the way.

We also took 3 elite Year 6 runners, Luke, Francesca and Tegan, who all qualified for the next stage of the finals. 

Well done to Olivia for her Best Effort Award and Finley for his Star Performer award.

Well done everyone in Year 5. What an amazing way to start the year!
