Challenge Day Year 8 Let the Games Begin!

Year 8 students have been battling it out in the sports hall arena on the Year 8 Challenge day. Students had lots of fun developing their problem solving, teamwork and communication skills through competing in a series of different activities. These included a blind climb, code breaking, crocodile crossing, creating the tallest paper tower and making a parachute which protected an egg from being scrambled!

Options Evening Your Choice, Your Future Options Evening took place on Thursday 4th February and we hope parents and students in Year 8 managed to make it. Starting option choices is a necessary and exciting development in the curriculum that will enable all students to begin preparatory work for GCSE in Year 9.

It can also be confusing time, with so many choices available. If you have any questions please contact the teachers in school who will be happy to help.

Yr 10 Football The year 10 football team were one game away from reaching the quarter finals of the Lancs Schools FA Cup - All Saints from Rawtenstall were the opponents that stood in their way.

Our year 10s had drafted in a new left sided defender in the shape and stature of Lewis Boyle as a replacement for Rhys Williams who has left to excel with LFC Academy and their own private education set up.

With conditions settling on the back of Storm Henry, the game got under way. Ashton kicking into the wind for the first half worked extremely hard to keep the ball on the ground as much as possible. Ten minutes before the end, our break came with a close range finish from Isaac Danson. The boys held fort for the remainder of the half and came in at 1-0 up.

The half time team talk was simple, use the wind - shoot on site and follow it up! It wasn't long at all before our boys scored the second. A surging run from defender Will Pitt saw him break through All Saints' midfield; a quick one two later and Pitt had rounded the keeper to find himself on the by-line drilling the ball across goal. Two defenders from the opposition tried their best to turn the ball past the post but all efforts were made in vain and they turned the ball into their own net.

The rest of the game didn't pass without the odd moment of talking points. A couple of rash challenges were thrown about on both sides with the referee taking the opportunity to lay the law down and ensure the game ended with 11 players on the pitch for both teams!

In the end, it was a comfortable victory for the year 10 boys who are set to face the winner of St. Wilfred's of Blackburn and Central Lancaster.
