Student Sporting Success

Over the last few weeks, some of our secondary school students have been achieving wonderful things in sport outside of school.

Basketball

Congratulations to Ella, Y9 student at Wickersley School & Sports College, who has been selected to play basketball for England this season!

Over the coming months, Ella will be representing her country with competitions in Spain, Dundee and Serbia.

Taekwondo

Amazing result for Rawmarsh student, Zak, who has recently won gold in the Taekwondo Spanish Open.

Zak won gold after four fights, beating Portugal and Spain three times along the way!

Swimming

Well done to Rawmarsh student, Rebekah, for winning two gold medals and gaining five new PBs (from six races entered) in the Stockbridge Pentaqua Spring Meet at Ponds Forge!

Her gold medals were for: 

  • 50m freestyle – 32.86 seconds
  • 50m fly – 37.96 seconds

Congratulations to all three students – we’re looking forward to seeing where your sports take you!

Rawmarsh Community School holds Curling Event

On Wednesday 17th May, four of Rawmarsh Community School feeder primary schools attended a transitional Curling event run by Mr Inglis and the RCS Sports Leaders.

 The event saw 28 Y6s, soon to be Y7s, come down and take part in five activities (four of which were curling based with the other being a tour of the school). The event aimed to help aid transition for the new RCS students, through allowing them to familiarise themselves with the school and its current students.

 All activities were run by the Sports Leaders with one of them saying “I’ve really enjoyed the teaching element of the day and teaching Curling to the children”. The Sports Leaders also helped gather feedback from the children regarding the event. Whilst at the same time handed out booklets which contained useful information for the new Y7s such as the school timetable, required equipment for September, a map of the school and some fun facts about their new teachers!

 Ross Inglis, School Games Organiser said: “The event was a big success, with the majority of the children, during the pupil voice activity at the end, saying they have changed their minds from feeling apprehensive and nervous, to excited and happy, about the prospect of moving to Rawmarsh Community School in September.

 A big thank you to Rawmarsh Community School for hosting and to Rawmarsh Ashwood, Monkwood, Rawmarsh Sandhill and Rawmarsh Thorogate for attending.”

WPT Students Take Part in Mega DofE Expedition

On Tuesday 9th May, 85 Y9 students from Wickersley School & Sports College, Clifton Community School and Thrybergh Academy took part in our first ever ‘Mega Expedition’ for their Duke of Edinburgh Award.

They walked almost 30k around Castleton and the Hope Valley over two days, taking in beautiful sights such as Cave Dale, Mam Tor, Lose Hill and Padley Gorge.

They also spent the night camping at Glenbrook Campsite and they were an asset to their teachers and the Trust throughout. 

We’re pleased to say that they all successfully passed their expedition!
