This week, Irchester students took part in 2 sporting competitions. The first was a year 5/6 netball tournament at Wollaston school. Only 3 teams were in attendance so we played everybody twice. The 8 children involved, played with great determination and spirit, and finished the tournament in first place, winning on goal difference. A big congratulations go to Orla (captain), Demi, Libby, Penny, Mattie, Caiden, Archie and Jaan.

Following on from the success on the netball court, came a very impressive victory at a large year 3 and 4 hockey tournament at Wrenn Academy. 6 children took part, and with their hard work and passion, won all of their games. This exceptional performance means that they are officially the best school hockey team in East Northants, and in July, will represent the district in a level 3 competition – the first competition of its kind, that Irchester School have ever qualified for. A huge well done to Kye (Captain), Ronnie, Fenn, Hannah, Hazel and Katie.
