Sports Success

Both the Football and Netball Teams have had successful ends to the season. The Football team won their day of the Coventry Catholic Schools Football Rally coming first out of 10 teams.

We have also had confirmation that St Osburg’s Netball team have won the Catholic Schools West League. This is for the third year in a row!

I think it is fantastic that our school and children do well, especially as we are a smaller school than many other Catholic schools. Congratulations to both teams and special thanks to the staff who give up their time to train the children and accompany them to matches and tournaments. Thank you to all the parents who come along to support and cheer the teams on too. J

We attended the Catholic Athletics Afternoon and won a gold (Boy’s throw) and silver (Y6 Girl’s 100m) and bronze medals ( Girls 4x 100m relay). Caleb set a new competition record for his enormous throw of 37 metres! 

Sports News

We have had so many sporting opportunities happening for pupils this week:

 On Sunday 20 children and a number of staff took part in the Coventry Children’s Mile at the Memorial park; On Monday Year 5 girls  took part in a Wasps netball afternoon at Bablake School which they really enjoyed and practised lots of skills;  On Wednesday Year 5 boys had a whole day of Rugby coaching and a tournament led by Wasps at Bablake too. They were unbeaten and some children received special certificates as they made such a good impression and on Tuesday a number of children took part in the Catholic schools cross country race – special mention to Maddie in Y5 who came 2^nd overall out of nearly 100 girls!

 Pupils in Years 3 and 4 had a special treat yesterday when four members of Coventry City Football Team turned up to join in with their PE lessons. They all joined in a game of dodgeball in addition to having the chance to answer lots of questions and have some photos taken. What a nice surprise! 

Super Swimmers!

Congratulations to Year 5 who completed their intensive swimming course last half term. Every single child in Year 5 can now swim, with 94% achieving at least 25 metres. This is fantastic. Keep practising your swimming skills now children!
