Netball

Netball this half term started a little slower than we would have liked. Senior and U13 tournaments over the first two weekends could not take place due to the cold and frost. Thankfully, once the weather improved, we were able to successfully run our U12ABC tournament hosting Bancroft’s, Forest, Highgate and St Edmund’s. The morning was a great display of competitive match play and enjoyment with the Chigwell U12B topping their group.

In fixtures, the seniors have had matches against Highgate, Saffron Walden, St Edmund’s and Bancroft’s. We have been able to get four senior teams out for most fixtures and have been impressed with the focus and competitiveness the pupils are putting in at training, games and during their matches.

The U15s, U14s, U13s and U12s have had fixtures against Park, Dame Alice Owens, Saffron Walden, Felsted, Forest and Bancroft’s and have enjoyed varying levels of success. The pupils have been working hard in training and their games sessions and we hope this level of focus continues after half term. The Junior School have also had some early fixtures against New Hall, Avon House and St Aubyn’s. Pupils have been working on their game play and ball handling in training and games sessions with a focus on England Netball’s BEE netball initiative.

This has been a busy half term and it continues as soon as we return with more fixtures and tournaments across the school to look forward to. Well done to all those pupils involved in netball this term and thank you to the staff continuing to support and provide a busy netball programme.
