Sports Leadership Academy<br />

Our fantastic Sports Leadership Academy of all years has been busy this year so far, with all of them supporting the local<br />

primary sports hall athletics event, the Sandbach School Sports Partnership Primary and the Sandbach SSP secondary finals.<br />

The maturity and rapport with the athletes was outstanding and admirable.<br />

The students also supported the primary school Quick Sticks tournaments held at Sandbach High School, running the events<br />

and officiating, the knowledge and professionalism again was outstanding. These competitions wouldn't run without the support<br />

of our Leadership Academy, after half term the leaders will be running the Sandbach SSP High 5 Netball tournaments and<br />

League - Good luck team!<br />

Level 2 School Games Volleyball<br />

Our ever improving volleyball squad attended the level 2 school games competition last half term. We had 2 teams entered and<br />

a College guest team. The standard of volleyball was excellent. Our students demonstrated their prowess and their<br />

determination to play tactical volleyball. We played a total of 4 matches per team and the games were fiercely competitive. Our<br />

Year 9 team (which also had a year 8 player) finished a wonderful 3 rd place which bodes well for the future as they were<br />

competing against Year 10 and 11 students. Our year 10 and 11 Team (which had a Year 9 student) went a few steps ahead<br />

and finished an outstanding 2 nd place, so close to 1 st place as they received the same number of points as the 1 st place team, but<br />

we could not have a draw and so the total points scored in each game were counted up and our girls scored 10 less points, such<br />

a shame as they thoroughly deserved to be overall winners. But they took it on the chin and will be back again in March to<br />

compete again at the Level 3 school games, where we hope to make even more progress. Our 6 th form competed in friendlies<br />

and thoroughly enjoyed themselves and gave the other schools a master class in volleyball. Well done to all.<br />
