24 SUMMER NEWSLETTER 2025 PHYSICALEDUCATION Rounders Our rounders teams recently took part in a series of rounders fixtures, and what a fantastic display of teamwork and determination it was! The matches were a great opportunity for the girls to put their skills into action and enjoy some friendly competition against local schools. With a mix of experienced players and those new to the game, the team showed real unity on the pitch. The girls encouraged one another throughout, gave tips between innings, and celebrated each other’s successes. Across the fixtures, the girls played with energy and enthusiasm, winning two matches and narrowly losing two. But more than the results, it was the improvements in communication, tactical play and confidence that really stood out. Each player made progress, and their positive attitude was a credit to the school. We are so proud of how our girls represented us - well done to everyone involved! Chance to Shine Girls Cricket Competition Our Year 7 and Year 8 girls’ cricket team recently took part in the exciting Chance to Shine competition held at Westhoughton Cricket Club, proudly organised by Lancashire County Cricket. It was a fantastic opportunity for our young cricketers to come together and showcase their skills. While some of the girls already play cricket outside of school and attend regular practice sessions, others were new to the game. Despite the varying levels of experience, nothing held them back. Their teamwork was truly inspiring - the girls coached one another, encouraged each other and cheered loudly from the sidelines, showing incredible spirit throughout the day. The team played three matches, winning one and narrowly losing two. More importantly, every player improved their batting, bowling, and fielding skills as the day progressed. Their determination and positive attitude were the real winners, proving that cricket is not just about individual talent but about supporting each other as a team. We are so proud of all our girls for their hard work, resilience, and passion for the sport. Here’s to many more games and plenty more chances to shine on the cricket pitch!
