A wonderful afternoon of cricket where over 80 year 5&6’s came to Sponne to play in a kwik cricket competition.  10 teams of 8 players step out into the sunshine to take up the battle at the crease.  The willow struck leather (well plastic struck rubber!!) and wickets fell, children ran, clapped, cheered and laughed.  There were some spectacular skills on display from such youngster, skills  even Freddie Flintoff would have been proud of...we only lost 7 balls in the rough (and possibly over the fence!!)

Congratulations to Georgia Corcoran on her selection for the U16 East Midlands Water Polo Squad. Georgia will compete down in Somerset in her first regional tournament in July this year where the East midlands squad will face other regional teams from across the country. Well Done Georgia.

Last week 16 Young Leaders from Sponne took park in a training event in preparation for the forthcoming Mini Reds Tennis Tournament on Thursday 10 May 2018.

Schools from the Sponne cluster bought along their budding tennis stars to compete in a round robin style tournament, the winner on the day would be crowned cluster champions and compete in the district final on 20^th June.

On Wednesday 25th April the Design and Technology department were proud to host the regional finals for the Rotary Young Designer competition.

The six entrants in the GCSE category were Jasmine Bond, Tom Cartwright, Maddie Chapman, Luke Harris, Jacob Moreton and Millie Rees. In the A level category we saw work from Beanna Field, Emi Johnson, Becca Kimber, Beth Loosely and Freya Robinson.
