Two wins and two losses for Year 7 last night at the first of many upcoming five-a-side tournaments at Minsthorpe! Congratulations to Ossett who won the tournament - we go again with two teams next week for the Year 8 tournament! ⚽️

Fantastic football fixture for Year 8 this evening against @TAC_Phys_Ed. The game was played in great spirit between two teams that looked to play good football and after a great start to the second half we managed to secure the win! Well done to all students that took part.

Clubs and fixtures for next week below!

Excellent attitude and performance from our Year 10 footballers last night, winning 4-1 against St Thomas A Becket!

Our half term heroes board has been updated with twelve spooky superstars from a fantastic first half term of attitude and attainment in PE lessons and extra-curricular! 🎃👻⚽️🏆

Incredible effort from our Year 9 footballers who lost on penalties this afternoon against an Ilkley Grammar team that reached the semi-final of the National Cup last year. After a 0-0 draw, we missed two penalties to win in the shootout before losing! 🥺

Fantastic evening of badminton at @CastlefordPE this evening for our first ever inter-trust competition. It was great to see twelve students representing the academy for the first time and we even managed to come out on top! 🏆 🏸

A fantastic week for our Year 9 rugby team who won three matches out of three in the Yorkshire Cup. Wins against Outwood Grange, Horbury and Ossett mean we go through to face Freeston in the next round!

A rare week of no football fixtures but two rugby fixtures and all our usual clubs on next week! 🏉

Superb evening in Halifax as our Year 9 footballers triumphed in the County Cup, knocking out last year’s champions North Halifax Grammar. After a fantastic performance in a brilliant match, we finally won on penalties after a 4-4 draw!
