This term, we are offering Fencing, Multi Sports, Yoga, Cricket and Football clubs. These have been exceptionally popular; both Fencing and Football were full within a very short time which was great. Please remember, clubs are offered on a first come, first served basis, so please make sure you are ready for when they open for the summer term if you missed out this time (just before the Easter holidays).
Clubs are open to all children and you must have a ParentPay account to sign up for all clubs (apart from Fencing).
See photos below photos of the Fencing and Football clubs!

Harmanpreet Kaur
Captain of Women’s Indian Cricket Team, holder of the prestigious Arjuna Award, Harmanpreet Kaur idol for many budding cricketers.
Harmanpreet Kaur (real name Jhanavi Kaur Bhullar) is a right-hand batter and a right arm off-spinner. She is known for her ability to power hit and crush the opposition with her destructive batting style. She made her ODI debut on March 7, 2009, against the arch-rivals Pakistan and since then she has been a crucial part of the Indian side. She is known for her extraordinary all-round performance. Spectators enjoy her batting as she holds the rare talent of hitting sixes out of the park.
She holds the record of being the first Indian cricketer for India to play 100 international matches in both men’s and women’s cricket and she was the first woman to score a century in Women’s T20 International match! What an exciting player!
This is an exciting time for women's cricket! The WIPL (Women's Indian Premier League) is the upcoming women's T20 franchise cricket league of India. It is due to start in March 2023 and will have franchises: Mumbai, Banglore, Lucknow, Delhi and Ahmedabad. We await the tournament with interest! Then the Hundred will be back in England in August with lots of top cricket stars - men and women in action! The Hundred is live on the BBC so make sure you tune in!
