A huge well done to everybody in school who participated in the penalty shootout today. They all cheered each other on and gave it their best shot. Special mentions for Jenson, Daisy, Daniel, Logan, Max and James for winning their year group competitions and Max as overall winner who will go on to the final with his brother Oliver from Catshill Middle School. We hear they have had to postpone their holiday a little for the boys to compete against other schools at Kidderminster Harriers!![]()
