HALF-TERM REVIEW- September-October

Half-Term Ends With Even More Success

It has been yet another successful week for Congleton High School’s sports teams to conclude what has been a great start to the academic year.

CHS’ netballers continued to impress, following five wins out of six last week across all years, the under-18 girl’s were crowned South Cheshire Champions on Tuesday.

Emma Ingle, Whitney Plant and Sophie Mullins.

The girls were deserved winners having played to an exceptionally high standard through the tournament, winning all of their games. During the tournament, other schools commented on how well they played, showing excellent skill and team spirit. CHS PE teacher, Mrs Henderson said, “The girls have put in a lot of hard work over the months and have been totally committed to training and, because of this they really have been able to reap the rewards. We are so proud of them and their success”.

It has also been a good start to the year in football too. Not only have year 7 won their respective league they have also made it through to round three of the ESFA boy’s cup. The under-16 girls’ team have also endured a cup run this half-term, with them reaching round four of the ESFA school’s cup also. There have also been stand-out results across every year.

Perhaps the highlight of the half-term has been the school’s first ever rugby tour. Over 40 students travelled to France, where they took part in training sessions as well as matches. The tour was a total success with the students building on their love for the sport and hopefully will inspire more people to get their boots and gum shield.

The combined year 9 and 10 boys rugby team finished the memorable half-term off with a convincing 30-0 victory over All Hallows' this week.

I am sure this half-term will set the tone for the rest of the year with success coming in every sport. The one thing that has really impressed be over recent weeks is the high turnout for extra-curricular activities.
