Clubs
After school hours, the school has been buzzing with a huge range of exciting clubs, helping the children to ‘build their profile’. For example, in Key Stage 1 the children have been building their confidence in musical theatre, getting creative in craft and sketching clubs and learning to take care of nature in gardening club.
Key Stage 2 children have been becoming linguists in French club, nurturing their musical talents in school band club and expanding their minds in quiz, strategy and brain gym clubs. Across the Academy, our children have also had the opportunity to take part in gymnastics and football clubs run by trained coaches, including one from Dartford Football Club for Year 4 upwards. And that is just a taster of the amazing range of activities that have been happening.
Sporting Events
This term has been packed with exciting fixtures, and our teams have shown incredible spirit and determination across all events. Here’s a quick recap of their achievements:
Girls’ Football Tournament
The girls gave it their all in a tough group stage, managing to score and secure a win. However, they were up against the eventual champions, whose strength ultimately proved too much for progression beyond the group.
Boys’ Football
The boys raced through their group stages with impressive performances, entering the semi-final with high hopes. Unfortunately, they faced a formidable Wentworth team—previous winners of the tournament—and were unable to advance further.
Swimming Success
Our swimmers made waves in a highly competitive field, coming away with outstanding results: a 1st place and a 3rd place finish. Their dedication, teamwork and resilience were something to behold and made for great entertainment.
Cup Matches vs. The Brent
Both the girls’ and boys’ football teams faced local rivals, The Brent, in a series of tense cup matches. While the girls were narrowly defeated, the boys returned the favor with a similar scoreline, securing their spot in the next round and lifting team spirits all around.
Well done to all our athletes for their hard work and resilience this term! We look forward to even more success next term.
