• Primary School Games 2.7.2025

  Wed 02 Jul 2025

  This week we took all primary pupils and year 7 to the Summer School Games hosted by Stride Active at the Hereford Leisure Centre, an event with 2000 young people from over 70 schools across the county.  It was fantastic to see so many pupils show all of our school values and work with such teamwork and friendship.  The Dodgeball team from 7W came home with 3^rd overall from 14 different schools competing and the rounders team made up of Marvels class matched their efforts with 3^rd overall out of the 12 schools involved, an incredible achievement considering both teams had less players than their competition due to illness and absence.  A team made up of pupils from Incredibles and Titans also showed fantastic commitment and determination to compete so well in the Athletics despite being a few team members down.  Titans also had a fantastic time in the sports arena trying a number of different sports from weightlifting to bowls and much much more. 

   

  We are all extremely proud of the pupils who were a credit to the school both in terms of their behaviour and their participation. 

  

• Hereford & Worcester County Athletics Championships

  Mon 16 Jun 2025

  On Saturday Callum Spence represented Hereford at the Hereford & Worcester County Athletics Championships having qualified following his performance at the district trials last half term in the Javelin event.  The competition was a big step up with club level throwers in abundance, all with more experience of competing at this level, however Callum didn’t stop this making him competitive consistently throwing in and around his best between 25-30 meters. 

   

  This is a fantastic achievement for Callum, the second athlete from the school in the last 2 years following Kyran Green’s involvement in the same event 2 years ago.  Callum was throwing against the best athletes from across all 8 districts in Hereford & Worcester, a talent pool of almost 40 secondary schools. 

  

• Green Spider

  Tue 20 May 2025

  A group of year 8 students had an amazing session at Green Spider on Friday. Thanks to Stride for organising. The boys got the opportunity to try a number of events including Street Dance, Climbing, Mental Strengthening and Martial Arts. All the boys said that they had felt more confident to try new activities as the day progressed, they all joined in and were a credit to themselves and the school. Well done boys!

  

• Bikeability

  Thu 15 May 2025

  Today I had the pleasure of assisting the Bikeability instructors with a group of 9 pupils, from across year 7-10 as they completed their Level 2 Bikeability.  It was fantastic to see their confidence and awareness increase through the day, showing a fantastic ability to learn and adapt to a changing environment around them.  Many of our pupils are confident riders, but may lack road sense and awareness when out on the road, something the expert instructors teach them.  It is a fantastic life skill to have and to know our pupils are safer and more aware when out on a bike is a wonderful thing.  We now have over 80% of pupils from year 7-11 that have completed the course and have 2 further dates in the autumn to hit a similar figure in years 5-6.  A big thanks to Steve, Emma and Sue for their expertise, care and attention to detail in ensuring all our pupils completed the course.

• Inter House Football

  Wed 19 Mar 2025

  The weather warmed up just in time for a sun soaked inter house football day this week.  It was a fantastic atmosphere with all pupils taking part across years 7-11 and in addition some year 6s stepped up to play with KS3.  Our values of confidence, ambition, resilience, emotional literacy, effective communication & tolerance were all displayed consistently and it was fantastic to see the teamwork and sense of pride towards their houses shown by all pupils. 

   

  Pegasus took the honours in both the KS3 and KS4 competitions but Phoenix still lead the way in the overall inter-house sports rankings. 

  

• Halo Leisure Cycle Track

  Fri 28 Feb 2025

  A small group of our cycling well-being pupils were fortunate enough to be treated to an unexpected test ride on one of Halo Leisure's Ice Bikes,  a recumbent bike designed to allow people with a disability or someone who is recovering from injury to exercise their leg and glute muscles with less strain. 

   

  A big thank you to the team at Halo Leisure Cycle Track for allowing our pupils to try it. 

   

  

• Bumps and Burns First Aid Training

  Wed 26 Feb 2025

  Today we welcomed Nick from Bumps and Burns First Aid Training, a company that offer first aid, fire safety and other health and safety training.  He has kindly volunteered his time to help the ASDAN Sport & Fitness group work towards one of their modules by completing a basic first aid qualification. Nick, who is also a firefighter and a former secondary school teacher was really impressed with the engagement and knowledge shown by the pupils, meaning he was able to cover more than initially planned. A big thank you to Nick for his time today passing on his expertise to enable our pupils to feel more comfortable with what to do in a medical emergency and how they might respond to and treat some basic sports injuries.
