• Stride Active Dodgeball event at Earl Mortimer College in Leominster.

  Wed 26 Nov 2025

  This week we took a team of year 5&6 pupils to the Stride Active Dodgeball event at Earl Mortimer College in Leominster.  8 schools attended in total with a focus on participation and developing teamwork. We were really proud of the performance of our pupils,  developing not just the core skills but also improving their tactical awareness with each game. Their attitude and behaviour were both a credit to the school. In January we will return for the second activity of sports hall athletics with a similar group of pupils.

• Pickleball

  Fri 07 Nov 2025

  Pupils from year 8-11 have been trying the new activity of pickleball this half term, a fairly new sport but one that is rapidly growing in popularity. The sport is a cross between table tennis and tennis and is played on a badminton sized court. Pupils have been transferring key skills they've learnt last half term in tennis and challenging themselves to explore more and more tactical principles too. It's a great activity and one you can access at Halo Leisure Centre at a very affordable cost. All equipment is included should you want to try it as a family, just book a court and turn up.

• Annual Stride Active School Games Mark Awards 2025

  Tue 21 Oct 2025

  This evening, myself and Miss Haile were proud to take Jack and Jacob to the annual Stride Active School Games Mark Awards evening hosted at Whitecross School. This year I was asked to be part of the evening by presenting a short presentation on how the school games programme has impacted our school. I was immensely proud to demonstrate to pupils, parents, head teachers and school sport coordinators the incredible impact the school games has had on our pupils. The awards recognise a schools work to engage in the school games programme and promote the importance and wider whole school impact of sport and physical education and how it contributes to pupils physical and mental health and the variety of opportunities it presents. For the 4th year in succession we were awarded the gold standard, if we maintain this for a fifth year this academic year we will be elevated to Platinum, a status currently held by just 8 schools across Herefordshire. Jack and Jacob proudly accepted the award from Hereford's Mayor Cllr Dan Powell, the Junior Mayor Stefan Dragomir and the stride active mascot. We would like to thank Kieram, Emma and the whole team at Stride Active for the fantastic school sport programme they offer across the county and the significant opportunities it presents to our pupils.

• Sports Leaders

  Thu 09 Oct 2025

  Our new crop of Sports Leaders have started the year well showing fantastic confidence in their opening coaching sessions. I have been really impressed with how so many have pushed themselves outside of their comfort zone and planned and delivered sessions to the rest of the group. 

   

  Next term they will work towards delivering sessions to our primary classes and organising and supporting inter house sports competitions once we are all back on the same site. 

   

  Keep up the good work guys you are a great example to the rest of the school and look very smart in your kit courtesy of our generous sponsors Cygnus Group.
