Mr. Cobbs Sports News
Recently school sport has been extremely successful.
Our Year 5 Athletics team won their Sports Hall Athletics heat and are through to the final at Iffley Road on December 8.
Meanwhile, the football team has scored thumping victories in the 7-a-side against SS Mary and John and Bayards Hill.
Let’s hope for more success soon, as well as from the girls’ team, who have some matches coming up.
