Well done to our Year 5 Netballers

12.11.2026

On Monday 9 November, the entire Year 5 cohort travelled to Godstowe for an exciting afternoon of netball. With eight of our teams taking to the courts against four Godstowe teams, there was plenty of action and every girl had the opportunity to enjoy competitive match play while representing the school with enthusiasm and excellent sportsmanship. 

The girls worked hard to apply the skills, tactics and teamwork they have been developing in PE lessons and netball club throughout the term. It was fantastic to see their growing confidence on court, with players demonstrating accurate passing, strong defending, movement into space and effective communication with teammates. 

There were some excellent results across the year group. The Sky Blue and Purple teams produced outstanding performances, winning 15-2. The Green and Pink teams secured hard-fought 2-1 victories, showing great determination and resilience. The Gold and Royal Blue teams faced strong opposition and, despite losing 10-2, continued to work hard throughout and showed great perseverance. The Red and Navy teams also enjoyed success, winning 3-2 in closely contested matches. 

Most importantly, all of the girls embraced the opportunity to compete, gained valuable match experience and supported one another brilliantly. It was wonderful to see the progress they have made since the start of the season and the confidence with which they applied their learning in a competitive environment. Well done to all involved on a very successful afternoon of netball.
