Year 2 Multi-skills at the Royal Latin School

The children had a great time at the Royal Latin School, where S4A (Sports 4 All) hosted a fantastic selection of skill-based stations. Activities included kicking a football into a goal ⚽️, knocking down a Jenga wall, hitting cones to flip them over, a ladder game, a beanbag-on-the-head slalom, and many more exciting challenges!

It was great fun, and the children were thrilled to come away with medals! 🏅😊

🏆 Kites Soar in Their First League Game!

The Kites took to the field full of excitement and belief as they kicked off their first league game of the season, building on the momentum from their impressive performance before half term.

They quickly found their rhythm, stringing together some beautiful passing moves, showing solid defensive organisation, and playing with bucket loads of enthusiasm. Their teamwork and determination soon paid off with goals galore!

Mollie was on top form, finding the back of the net an impressive five times, but this was truly a team performance — every player contributed with energy, creativity, and great teamwork. The Kites demonstrated fantastic spirit and skill throughout, setting the tone for an exciting season ahead!

It was another amazing team performance and a brilliant start to the league campaign. Well done, Kites — we’re so proud of you all! 🎉

 Warriors Start the Season with a Thrilling Draw!

The Warriors kicked off their first league game of the season with great excitement and enthusiasm, eagerly taking to the pitch against a physically matched Newton Longville side.

After conceding an early goal to a well-taken strike, the Warriors showed real determination and composure to level the score through a finely finished effort from James. From there, the team grew in confidence, displaying some superb passing moves and rock-solid defending. A moment of brilliance from Otto, who darted through the opposition’s defence before slotting home, gave the Warriors a deserved lead.

Newton Longville responded strongly, equalising and then edging ahead as the pressure mounted. But the Warriors refused to give in — showing grit, determination, and true team spirit. Their resilience paid off when Stanley produced a moment of magic, calmly chipping the ball over the keeper to bring the game level once again.

The final whistle was met with huge excitement as the Warriors celebrated a hard-fought and well-deserved draw! A fantastic team performance full of energy, skill, and heart — an excellent start to the season!

Mini Football Tournament

It was an exciting evening of football as two Year 3 pupils and five Year 4 pupils proudly represented our school in a mixed mini tournament held at the Royal Latin School. Competing against four other primary schools, our team demonstrated outstanding team spirit, enthusiasm, commitment, and determination throughout the event.

Despite narrowly losing two of their matches, the team held their heads high and finished strong with a well-earned 0-0 draw in their final game. A special mention goes to Oliver, who scored both of our goals—one of which was a spectacular long-range effort!

The children played with great sportsmanship and represented the school brilliantly, making us incredibly proud and a pleasure to take. Their efforts were rewarded with medals, and it was fantastic to have parents on the sidelines cheering them on.

Well done Blake, Issac W, Ava, Oliver, Elsie, Harriet and Sophie.

Year 6 Football Squad Unveils New Kits and Kicks Off the Season in Style!

Year 6 were the first to proudly model our brand new football kits, generously sponsored by M Hannon Builders, Vass Tech, and John Dennis 4x4. A huge thank you to our sponsors for their incredible support!

The children played their first match against our local neighbours, Green Ridge Primary Academy, hosted at Whitchurch Combined School. We were especially delighted to include Mollie, who, in my eight years at Whitchurch, is the first girl to represent the school in the mixed league—a fantastic milestone!

The Whitchurch Warriors took to the pitch for the first half, with Albie making a series of outstanding saves. The half ended 1–3 to Green Ridge, but not before Otto scored an absolute screamer from the far touchline—undoubtedly the goal of the match!

In the second half, the Whitchurch Wanderers stepped up, battling hard but finishing 0–3 to Green Ridge. Despite the final result and exiting the Cup Competition, every player showed passion, integrity, and joy throughout.

A big thank you to Mr Waite for refereeing, and congratulations to Albie, who was named Player of the Match by Green Ridge.

The Year 6 squad will now officially divide into the Whitchurch Warriors and Whitchurch Wanderers, with a few talented Year 5s joining the ranks, as they begin their league campaign in the coming weeks.

Well done, team — onwards and upwards!
