Physical Education 2020: End of Year Celebration Welcome Welcome to this special newsletter. We have had a fantastic year of sports this year and want to celebrate all that our extra-curricular sports teams have achieved. Sadly we have been unable to launch our inaugural Sports Personality of the Year Awards Evening and so we have put together this sporting review in which we present reports for each sport and team from Year 7 through to the sixth form. We are extremely proud of the enthusiasm, commitment and success of our St Bart’s students, and we are pleased to be able to celebrate this with you.

Fifteen West Berkshire Secondary and Primary Schools signed up to take part in the weekly challenges pso there has been plenty of competition! Each week the winners from West Berkshire went on to represent Berkshire County achieving some excellent results. Week 1 Pentathlon - Years 7 & 8 West Berkshire and County Winners Week 2 Tennis - Year 7 and Year 8 were both West Berkshire and County Winners Week 3 Handball - Year 8 2nd in the County Week 4 Footgolf - - Year 7 were 1st in the County Week 5 Cricket - Year 7 and year 9 were 1st in the County Week 6 Enduro - Year 7 and Year 8 were 2nd in West Berkshire Week 7 & 8 Olympic - we are still collecting in results at time of writing this report. For each week of the challenges so far St Bart’s has been awarded the Spirit of the Games certificate reflecting the large number of students that we have had competing in the Virtual School Games - this is a tremendous achievement. A huge well done and thank you to all of you who have taken part in these challenges and for all the photos and videos of you competing. As a school you have been excellent and deserve all the success you achieved. Year 7 Lacrosse Back in September, we travelled to Heathfield School where the girls played in their first Lacrosse fixture for St Bart’s. For the majority of the match we dominated in attack and were quick to prevent counter attacks from our opposition. Despite only training together for a few weeks and still learning the rules, the girl’s performance was exceptional. As a result, we won 11-1, with Heathfield awarding player of the match to Scarlett John, Beatrix Busby and Chloe Shore. Our next match saw us face Godolphin away. Godolphin took an early lead, but we continued to battle. Throughout the match Godolphin played amazingly and sadly we lost 14-3. However, I was extremely proud of the girls for not giving up against a stronger and more experienced team, this would certainly not define the rest of our season. Godolphin awarded Helena Van Blerk and Anna Delavere players of the match. Having lost against Godolphin, the girls’ attitude and determination against St George’s Ascot were still strong. Just like in their first game against Heathfield, the girls dominated in attack and were quick to defend. St Bart’s led the whole game, with the final score ending in a 10-3 win for St Bart’s. St George’s awarded player of the match to Chloe Shore and Helena Van Blerk. Our next two fixtures took us away to play St Mary’s Calne and St Helen’s and St Katherine’s. Unfortunately, we lost 13-3 to St Mary’s Calne and lost 10-3 to St Helen’s and St Katharine’s. Players of the match for these games were Chloe Shore (x2), Helena Van Blerk and Anna Delavere. Rendcomb were our next opponents and coming back from two defeats was going to be tough. We had a slow start and Rendcomb were first to take the lead (0-1), but this did not stop our girls. Once we found our pace there was no stopping us. Goal after goal our lead against Rendcomb increased. The game gave us a 7-2 victory with Rendcomb awarding players of the match to Sophia Warner and Helena Van Blerk. Up next was the Berkshire Lacrosse tournament. It was here where we would face previous teams in hope to become Berkshire Champions. Due to playing short games, the girls found it difficult to find their feet. However, despite a slow start, overall the girls won 2 out of their 5 games which saw them place third in the tournament. Players of the tournament were awarded to Immy Duly and Claudia Curtis. Godolphin was our seventh and final fixture of the season. We had won 3 and lost 3 of our matches in total, therefore this game would determine whether or not we finished with more wins than losses. In our previous game against Godolphin we lost 14-3, but our spirits were high. The game began and we were in full force. The team who had previously lost against Godolphin looked like a new team. It was this game where you could see just how far the girls had progressed since starting lacrosse in September. Their movement, accuracy and fluidity strived throughout the game and I could not be any prouder. We finished our last game with a 13-1 win. Godolphin awarded Immy Duly and Claudia Curtis players of the match. I am extremely proud of how the Year 7 Lacrosse season has gone. We have had our wins and losses, but you cannot fault their positive attitude and willingness to succeed, both on and off the pitch. The girls are full of energy and have
