Football

Girls’ Football at WGS has gone from strength to strength over the past season, with both our U13 and U15 teams qualifying for their respective City Cup Finals. Both finals were played at Compton Park which was a fantastic experience for the girls.

The U13s were runners-up in the City Cup after an incredibly tense final against Our and St Chad Catholic Academy on Monday 20th March; whilst our U15 girls beat St Edmunds 6-0 in the Cup semi-final and also went on to play a very strong Our Lady and St Chad Catholic Academy side in the final, finishing as runners-up.

In the boys’ competitions, there have been mixed fortunes with our Year 8s and Seniors leading the way. The U13s beat Colton Hills 8-0 in round one and St Matthias 2-0 in the quarter final, but sadly lost by one goal, 4-5, against Thomas Telford UTC in the Wolverhampton City Cup semi-final. They also reached the quarter-finals of the Independent Schools’ Football Association Cup.

However, the U18s are still in the mix after winning two matches, 1-0 against St. Edmunds in a replay and 2-1 in a nail-biting victory versus SWB in the semi-final. We wish them luck for the Cup Final to be played at Old Wulfrunians FC after the Easter break. Good luck to all involved.

Boxing Success

Congratulations to Lower Sixth student, Ryan, who won a bout in March contributing towards the Midlands Cup by a TKO in the second round. We wish Ryan the best of luck for the rest of the competition.

Sports Leaders

A group of 19 Year 9 students have been training for their Level 1 Sports Leaders’ qualification over the last two terms. This has involved delivering events for local schools under the Wolverhampton Schools’ Partnership. They hosted an Indoor Athletics competition for 60 Year 5 and 6 pupils from three local primary schools in November and in January, a Multi-Skills event was run for 50 Year 1 and 2 pupils from three local schools, focusing on agility, balance, and coordination.

Ryan is also one of three Sixth Form students who run a weekly MMA club for students in Years 7 and 8.

During the course students have learnt the skills and behaviours of a Sports leader, how to plan and deliver sports activities, effective communication skills, organisational and motivational methods of delivery and how to adapt activities to meet participants’ needs. As the term drew to a close, all students successfully completed their final assessment and were awarded their coaching qualification. Congratulations!

Congratulations to our Sports Leaders.
