On Saturday 12th May the Under 14 Boys Football Team beat Kimberley 4-0 in the South Notts Cup Final with striker Dean Wykes scoring all four Bridgford goals. After beating South Nottinghamshire Academy, Rushcliffe, Harry Carlton and George Spencer in previous rounds the lads performed magnificently and thoroughly deserved the victory. The win was the culmination of three years of continued hard work and just goes to show what can be achieved if students apply the correct attitude, effort and determination. Next stop Barcelona….
14/05/2012On Wednesday 9th May, some of our sports leaders who are members of the Rushcliffe Leadership Sports Academy visited the Olympic Park to see the School Games Finals. They left at 5am in the morning to attend the swimming finals in the aquatics centre and in the afternoon were in the stadium to watch the athletics. The weather was poor but the occasion was a great experience and definitely something to remember. The sports leaders were; Lydia Fairhurst-Marshall, Chloe Smith, Sam Jones, Pierce Bennett, Majid Awan, Emma Sunderland, Alycia Hutchinson and Claire Dickinson. This was a reward for the pupils who, along with other sports leaders, have volunteered over 1000 hours this year by coaching, officiating and running sports festivals for younger pupils in our school and Family of Schools and have on some occasions have been the top school in the country with regards to the Youth Sport Trust Step into Sport programme.
Spain and Barcelona - on 27 March we celebrated the Barcelona Olympics 1992 and the country of Spain. Y11 helped decorate the dining room and we served Spanish food (both vegetarian and meat options) including paella, whilst listening to Spanish music.
Chinese New Year - the Beijing Olympics were celebrated earlier this year too.
Messie Keepy Uppy Challenge - several students wore their Barcelona shirts and supported Mr Kemp in his quest to find a winner (Adam Blacknell 8H won with 151 - amazing!!)

Australia Day - on 11 July supported by Y10
Jamaica Day (New Y11) and Athens & Greece Day (New Y9) - will take place in the Autumn term.
On Thursday 19th April the year seven girls were crowned County Cup Champions after defeating George Spencer School 1-0. It was a tight affair for the first 15 minutes of the game with chances few and far between for both sides. Charlotte Lacey then popped up with a goal after making a darting run to the front post, converting Emma Brown’s cross. The second half again was very tight with George Spencer pushing players forward at every given opportunity. With them attacking we looked to hit them on the break and although chances were coming our way, we could not extend our lead. The effort and determination from each and every girl was tremendous and we are all proud of their achievements. Well done ladies!!
