Primary Inclusion Football 16.01.2019

Wednesday 16thJanuary 2019 – What a great start to the new year! 10 teams from schools in the PSSP came along to Goals today for our termly Primary and Special Schools Football. Teams from The Cathedral School, Prince Rock, Oreston, Eggbuckland, Leigham, Marine Academy Primary, St. Peters CofE, Dunstone and Old Priory all came along to take part in our friendly, fully inclusive, round-robin event. This is a competition with a bit of a difference… although schools do compete for points, the emphasis is mainly on promoting excellent qualities such as Respect, Team Work and Determination. Every one who takes part in our event receives a certificate but the staff from each of the schools get to select just one of their children to receive a special medal for displays of outstanding sportsmanship. There was some fantastic Football on display today and some brilliant team work. It was certainly no easy task for the teachers to select their medal winner today. At the end of the event, the scores were added up and the winners announced… Congratulations to Oreston Primary who were our overall winners and to Eggbuckland Vale who were a very close second. Well done to all of the teams that played today – I hope that you all enjoyed the event as much as I did?! I would like to say a huge thank you to the young leaders from DHSG who braved the weather with us to referee our games – you did a fantastic job! Thank you to Ms Ricks as well for organising such high quality leaders for us. Well done to everyone ho took part today – I am looking forward to seeing you all at our next event on Wednesday 06thMarch 2019.
