Well done to the year 4 boys who did extremely well in the South Yorkshire Orienteering Competition held at Clifton Park. They qualified for a level 3 competition which was a huge achievement. Well done boys.
A huge well-done to our four tennis stars, who represented St Alban’s, at Wickersley School and Sports College.
It was a challenging competition and our children played very well to secure overall second place. Well done!
Year 5 had a brilliant day, taking part in the 1st DSAT Sports Festival. Over the course of the day, they had taster sessions for 17 sports, including basketball, curling and long jump. They all were absolutely fantastic and had a go at every single sport with 100% enthusiasm and energy!

Today, we had an inspiring assembly based on the seven Physical Education Values of our school. Thank you to the Sports Council who shared their interpretations of the values of determination, honesty, passion, respect, self-belief, teamwork and enthusiasm. Afterwards, we were treated to a cheer-leading extravaganza. Well done to all who took part.
