Friday Headlines

07 May 2021

Hot on the heels of last week's announcement that Isabel in Year 9 had been selected for the Warwickshire County Cricket Club's (WCCC) Junior Emerging Players Programme, our younger students are getting in on the act. On Friday 20 April girls from Years 1 and 2 took part in an exciting All Stars Cricket workshop delivered by WCCC coaches.

Girls thoroughly enjoyed taking part in individual and team games developing their throwing, catching and batting skills. Our happy pupils went home with a sticker and wristband for their enthusiasm and hardiness after playing in sunshine and wintry showers.

The taster session was aimed at encouraging Prep girls to sign up to a local All Stars Cricket programme which is a perfect introduction to Cricket for girls and boys aged 5 -8 years old.

Cricket is proving very popular with the older year groups in Prep too. Many girls in Years 3 to 6 are taking part in Cricket Club after school on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Last week saw Cool Catchers competing in teams whilst practising throwing/ catching skills and outrunning each other between wickets. This week's 'Brilliant Bowling' session has tested target throwing and accuracy with fielding skills being developed in the hour of fun after school.
