Wear Anything Day

We have received a lovely note from The Turner family.

“We felt we really needed to write to you all to say a huge

Thank you to both the School for organising last week’s

non school uniform day and for the overwhelming support and

generosity of donations given to help us reach our target of

sponsoring a room at Ronald McDonald House Birmingham.

The funds raised have helped us reach the halfway mark and we

can’t thank you enough. We’re pleased to say William is improving

daily, and we hope he will continue that way and will be back at

school very soon. With heartfelt thanks, The Turner family xx”

Netball and Football Teams

We are so proud of the girls who played their first tournament last Wednesday at Paget

High School. They played three matches against Shobnall, All Saints and Rykneld; they lost

the first match only by 1 goal, won the second match and drew the last one. Their netball

skills improved match by match and they came together as a strong team. They are now

through to the upper league tournament in March against the Dove Valley Schools.

Well done girls!!

Football Teams

Last week, our amazing A team played a match against Richard Wakefield at Tutbury.

The team played really well and the final score was 10-0 to John of Rolleston.

The brilliant B team played against Needwood School and again showed us how skilful they

are. It was a very exciting match but the final score was 2-1 to Needwood.

Well done to both teams.

As you can see, all our sporting teamsare performing well at the moment and we are sure this

will continue in the future.
