Castlefort Triumph in Rounders Festival!

The Shire Oak rounders festival took place at Shire Oak with a place in the Partnership Finals up for grabs for the winning team. 

The festival was very closely contested. There were group matches to begin with, then the 2 teams with the most points played in a final which were Castlefort and St Johns . Third and fourth place was contested between Holy Trinity and Walsall Wood.

The standard of rounders was very high with tactics used and skill levels of the pupils consistently good. This was particularly evident in the final where both Castlefort and St Johns fielded exceptionally well.

A number of parents came to watch to watch and support their children and the schools they were representing.

The festival was organised and run by Year 10 Toplink students Emily Taylor and Jodie Brampton, and Year 11 Toplink student Adam Johnson as part of their Sports Leadership studies. The students organised trophies and certificates and presented these to the winning team at the end of the festival. They did a great job!

1st – Castlefort

2nd – St Johns

3rd – Walsall Wood

4th – Holy Trinity

Good luck to Castlefort in the Partnership Finals at Shelfield

Shire Oak Basketball Success  

The year 11 basketball team (including 2 year 10’s and 2 year 9’s) have had great success this year. Not only did they comfortably win the 6th form league this season (entered into the year above for a challenge) but they also reached the semi finals of the National Division 3 competition. They displayed excellent character and some extremely high level basketball but unfortunately lost their final game by 2 points with 2 seconds to go.

It has been an outstanding season for them producing excellent results – Well done lads!!

The team is as follows:

Efe Okoro, Jite Okoro, Adam Bland, Shaun Bethell, Elliot Martin, Elliot Barker, James Neath, Jack Arrowsmith, Alex Anderson (year 10), Gino Engle (year 9), Keelan Middleton (year 9)

The whole school was involved with KS 1 running round the field, KS 2 and the parents race was a course mapped around Shire Oak estate, 2.6 miles, a tenth of the real marathon! All children participated with medals for all, a trophy for the winning parent, girl and boy. It was marshalled by all staff and parents proving to be an exciting and fun day! The school managed to raise £3000.
