Primary School Partnership Competition win
Congratulations to all the students and Ms Toprak for their achievement in the School Partnership Competition. Students competed in a variety of events designed to build and introduce the skills needed for track and field. Jumping, throwing, hurdling, baton passing and running were all tested. Our students won their partnership round – against three other primaries in the scheme – and went on to beat the Knights partnership champions to become winners of this region. They will now compete at regional level.
Year 7 boys football v Thomas More
A hard fought game for the Year 7 football team which ended in a 7-2 defeat. Notable performances from Diego and Richard, who both grabbed their first goal for St Matthew Academy. Debutants included Charles Whitewood and Diego Sotelo.
The girls played their first netball match ever and thoroughly enjoyed it. They had a great game - they learned a lot and had many chances at goal. The final score was 1-0 to Hillyfields but a victory for netball at St Matthew Academy. The year 7 team have four fixtures coming up after half term.
A fun-packed evening saw the Year 8 Sports Hall Athletics team compete against teams from Sedgehill, Sydenham and the hosts Knights Academy. The boys finished second overall and the girls third after a hard-fought competition. Special mention goes to Andres who absolutely stormed the six-lap individual race.
