Football Club


Our aim is to give as many children as possible the chance to play football and represent their school - and to that end, this year we provided weekly club sessions for around 75 children and gave 49 different children the opportunity to play for one of our school teams. This year we are fielding teams in the Year 5/6 mixed, Year 5/6 girls and Year 3/4 competitions, with four teams (including a Year 5/6 'B' team) playing regular matches throughout the Autumn and Spring terms. The club trains every week throughout the year, and is free to join for everyone in Year 3-6 - and we also run inter-house and 3-a-side intra-school competitions during the Summer Term! 

 

We are also the home of the Stevenage and District Primary Schools FA, hosting Year 3/4, Year 5/6 Mixed and Year 5/6 Girls tournaments as well as the annual SDPSFA Cup Finals and presentations. Finally, we've been delighted to see some of our most talented players recruited to play for the Stevenage District side over recent years.

"Staff provide a range of additional activities and opportunities including sports clubs and visits to places of interest. These broaden pupils experience and raise their aspirations."

Year 5/6 Mixed Team

Summer Term update

May was a busy month for all our football teams, as we hurried to get all of our games played before the end of the season. After dropping points in an action-packed draw with Roebuck we slipped out of first place in our league, but after winning our final two games, our Year 5/6 team finished as runners-up in Division 3 and collected well-deserved silver medals. 

Spring Term update:

A series of strong wins for our Y5/6 A team (and a nail-biting draw in the final week of term) have put us top of Division 3 going into the Easter break. Our B team have also put in some super performances when faced with very strong opposition.     

Autumn Term update: 

Our Year 5/6 ‘A’ team took part in the Stevenage Schools Autumn Tournament (which we hosted at Bedwell), showing great determination and resilience when faced with some strong opposition. Once the league season began, however, they really found their shooting boots, winning 7-1, 6-3 and 4-2 in their first three matches.

Our Year 5/6 ‘B’ team, meanwhile, were super keen to get playing, and really did the school proud in their first game, working incredibly hard and winning 7-1!

Year 5/6 Girls Team

Summer Term update:

The team went into their last league game knowing that a point would be enough to secure second place in our league - and that's exactly what they achieved, thanks to an end-to-end 2-2 draw. Two weeks later, the girls headed to our end-of-season awards (which we hosted at Bedwell), and collected their medals in front of a packed crowd of parents!      

Spring Term update:

Our Girls team took part in the Stevenage Sporting Futures Year 4/5/6 tournament. They finished in second place and brought home some very shiny silver medals!   

 

Autumn Term update:

Our Football season kicked-off with the Stevenage Schools FA Autumn Tournaments, which we hosted at Bedwell. Our girls took on teams from 11 other schools on a packed afternoon, only conceeding 3 goals across their 5 matches. Unfortunately, goals were hard to come by, and we went out in the group stage.

Fortunately, we had time to get in some shooting practice before our league season began, and that really showed as we won 10-0 in our first game. 

Year 3/4 Mixed Team

Summer Term update:

Our Year 3/4 team also reached the high point of their season in May, playing in the Stevenage Schools Tournament at Woolenwick School. There was some great play from the whole team, and we narrowly missed-out on a place in the semi-finals.

Autumn Term update: 

Our Year 3/4 squad showed excellent skill and determination in their first two friendlies, winning their first game and drawing the second.
