Update and Match Dates

We had a great first training session on Wednesday where we practised passing and attacking and defending. Mr Ashwell enjoyed his first training session with us.

Foundation Football who are in charge of our league have now released dates for matches etc. Please click the link below for more information. Please note that the dates given are subject to change as we need to find a time that is mutually convenient for both schools.

A letter will be sent out before each match, asking for permission for your child to play and to organise transport if it is an away match.

I will be contacting you soon with details of the first match once I have contacted the other school.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me,

Many thanks,

Mr. Merchant

Welcome back! Important information for Autumn term!

Dear Parents/Carers,


I hope you had a restful Summer break.


I am writing with some information regarding the football team this year.


Training will take a place on a Thursday this term at the usual time of 3.45pm4.45pm. Training will recommence next Thursday 17th September. Any changes in day of training will be communicated through your child as soon as possible.


I have entered the team into both the 11 a side schools league and the Kings cup so we will have lots of matches to play as soon as they start at the end of September. More information about matches will be announced shortly.


I am also pleased to announce that we have Mr. Ashwell (Ast. Caretaker) at the school helping with the team this term. Mr Ashwell is working towards his FA coaching badges; therefore will be a very useful person in supporting the team. If any parents would be interested in refereeing one or two of our matches for us or helping in any way please have a word with me.


I am sure that this will be a very successful season and the children will continue to develop their skills and teamwork.


Thank-you for your continued support,



Mr P. Merchant

Indoor training - Tues. 7th July








As it was raining tonight we had our training indoors. We done some different teamwork games, learnt about different formations and when they are best to use and created our own formations. We also received our Glade football kits which we were very excited about!
