Netball Stars A huge well done to all of the Year 6 children in our netball team. They played their first ever competitive matches, at Temple Park Leisure Centre, on Thursday night. They lost the first match to a very strong Mortimer A team, but went on to win their second match against St Peter and Paul’s 5 - 0. It was a tremendous effort from all of the team members and their coach, Miss Westwood. They play again on Thursday 8th February.
