What a day for our U15 indoor cricket team!
We topped the group stages with brilliant performances against St Leonard’s, St Joseph’s, and Hetton — showing great teamwork, skill, and determination throughout.
In the final against English Martyrs, the team were simply outstanding. They bowled English Martyrs out for just 17 runs, taking 6 superb catches, before chasing the total down in under 2 overs!
A fantastic achievement from every player.
The team now progress to the Durham Finals in March — bring it on!

Year 10 students recently hosted an engaging Gopher Science lab day for Year 6 pupils, leading hands-on activities and demonstrations. From exploring how butterflies drink nectar to discovering why slugs and snails use slime, and learning why leaves change colour in autumn, it was a fantastic day of practical science, building knowledge, confidence, and communication skills across both year groups.
