Football Club

Bedwell Football Club has expanded rapidly over the last five years, and last season we gave 60 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. This year we also organised and hosted the Stevenage Year 3/4 Girls Festival as part of the FA's Biggest Ever Football Session initiative. 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

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

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

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.
