At the start of this year, Mr Booth (Kilnhurst Primary) and Mr Jones (Brinsworth Manor Junior) were tasked with devising a series of engaging sporting opportunities for our Trust schools as part of our commitment to improving our child-centred offer. After a couple of after school meetings, they were able to hold its first-ever sports event, a Year 3/4 football tournament called the White Woods Autumn Cup. This first event, held at Dinnington High School’s astro turf pitch, was a remarkable success, with nine of our trust schools participating in a day filled with excitement, competition, and sportsmanship.
The tournament was a real showcase of determination, heart, and integrity, with every child giving their best on the pitch! One of the most impressive aspects was the level of respect and teamwork displayed among all of our children, highlighting the positive attitudes we strive to foster across our schools. After a thrilling and close group stage, the teams were whittled down to the final between Anston Park Junior and Woodsetts. It was a tense match throughout which ultimately ended goalless. The subsequent penalty shootout saw Anston Park Junior eventually emerge champions!
Throughout the competition, we had several parents commenting how much they enjoyed the event, with one commenting, “I hope the trust do more of this as it was fantastic!” The enthusiasm and positive feedback have set up for a great starting point for future sporting events within our Trust, as we continue to focus on enhancing our child-centred experiences for all.
Watch this space for the next one!
