Paul Jones Success
On Wednesday afternoon both our football teams competed in the finals of the Paul Jones Tournament. I am delighted to share that both teams were the overall winners of the tournament. Both teams played extremely well over the course of the tournament and showed dedication and skill in their football. Both teams displayed the school motto of Believe and Achieve. Over the 4 weeks they all displayed exemplary behaviour and sporting attitudes.
Thank you to everyone that helped transport the children each week to the events and for all your support from the side lines.
I couldn’t have been prouder as they went receive their medals and trophies. Congratulations and well done.
