Year 9 Netball
The Year 9 netball team were in action last week with two Borough league fixtures. On Tuesday we played Barking Abbey who pulled away with an early lead in the first half. We made some tactical changes at half time and this enabled us to draw in the third quarter, however, Barking Abbey upped the ante in the final quarter and we ended up losing 10-4.
On Thursday we enjoyed success at Riverside on a very windy evening. We started really strongly against a good Riverside team with early goals from Temitayo Roberts 9C and Adunola Olayiwola 9F and all the girls were committed in defence. We were winning 5-1 at half time so we kept our positions the same, however, we changed our style of play to match the weather conditions and this resulted in us winning 8-2.
We have two more fixtures next week against Warren and Eastbury so I hope to report further success then.
Well played to all the Year 9 girls involved.
Miss Boulton Head of PE U16 Boys Basketball Team
The U16 Boys Basketball Team took on Dagenham Park in the Borough Basketball

Mr Coupland PE Department Year 9 Football Result Congratulations to the Year 9 boys football team who beat Dagenham Park 1-0 to reach the semi-finals of the borough cup.

The semi-final is due to be played after Christmas.

The girls managed to maintain the quality within their performances and made it through to the final.
Unfortunately, in the final they were beaten 5-3 against Eastbrook.

Year 11 Mock Exams
Below is a copy of the Year 11 mock exam timetable. These are internal exams and students will be required to attend normal lessons. Please make sure students have a good breakfast and they have the correct equipment with them for each exam, including a calculator (if needed) and a black pen.
If they wish to, they may bring water, but this needs to be in a clear plastic bottle with the label removed. Please remind your child that under no circumstances should mobile phones be taken into exam rooms. If your child is unable to attend any of their exams, please call the attendance line as usual and we will require a letter from your doctor.
