We’ve had a fantastic first half term of sport at Cropwell Bishop! While football has taken centre stage so far, there’s plenty more sporting action to come throughout the year.
The year began with the Year 5/6 Rushcliffe Football Tournament at St Peter’s. Our boys’ team were brilliant, competing with determination and teamwork – with several players making their first ever competitive appearance for the school. The team finished second in their group, narrowly missing out on a place in the semi-finals.
Next up was a Football Skills Festival, where a group of boys and girls from across Key Stage 2 took part. They represented the school superbly, showing great enthusiasm throughout the event.
To round off the half term in style, the boys’ football team achieved an incredible 5–0 victory in the Rushcliffe Cup, taking them through to the quarter finals – a fantastic way to finish an exciting start to the sporting year!
Looking ahead, next half term promises to be another busy one, with a Year 3/4 Sports Skills Festival, a KS1 Fundamentals Festival, and a Year 5/6 Indoor Rowing Competition all on the calendar. We can’t wait to see even more pupils getting involved and representing our school with pride.
