In the first competitive sporting event of the year, 7 children were selected to represent Myddle CE Primary School today in the inter-school netball tournament at the Corbet School, where (out of the 9 teams), they finished in joint 1st place! A great effort from all of the children, who showed that they’d taken the skills learned in their PE lessons and at lunchtimes, and applied them into match situations against other schools. Congratulations to Siena, Josh, Eloise, Charley, Imogen, Jamie and Amelia.

A great time was had by all at last week’s Myddle CE Primary School sports day. Congratulations to the champions this year – Grinshill!

We are delighted to say that for the third year in a row, Myddle CE Primary School have been successful in our application for the School Sports Games GOLD award for our achievements in PE and school sport this year. It’s been a great team effort, from our sports leaders, our PE coaches, Mrs Smith for organising transport to and from events, but most importantly, the children who have taken part in all intra-house and inter-school competition this year. Let’s aim for four in a row next year!

Well done and a huge thank you to all of the parents who have helped to contribute towards the Sports4Champions day today. Thanks to you (and the children’s efforts in their physical challenges), we have raised over £1,200, much of which will help towards new sports resources for the school. Thanks to our British decathlon athlete, Matt Lee, who spent the afternoon with us, giving a talk to the pupils and then organising a circuit of activities with the pupils…… We wish him all the best in his push for the European Championships in a couple of years time.
