Euros 2024
Our school football team were entered into a European style competition. They represented Croatia and played some fantastic football. Although they finished third in their group, this wasn’t quite enough to take them through to the quarter finals. However, the team were in high spirits, arranged a friendly match with another school and supported the teams playing in the finals. Fantastic role models for our school!
Girls’ Football World Cup
Our girls’ football team entered a tournament in the style of the World Cup. They were representing Germany and played some fantastic football. Some of our girls had never played football competitively before and were fantastic role models for our school. The girls made it to the semi finals and finished in fourth place. Well done!

The red team were our overall winners with a convincing win in the final. A fantastic afternoon for all involved.
