Playing at Carrow Road

admin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 08:51:34 +0000

Our school football team thoroughly enjoyed the experience of playing on the Norwich City pitch prior to their game against Swansea City. What a great feeling scoring in the same goal as Grant Holt and Steve Morison.

We all really enjoyed the annual Cross Country event at Gresham’s Prep School, we took a team of 21 who all tried so hard. There were twenty schools participating from around the Eastern region. As usual it was very well organised.

Aquathlon Team

Our Aquathlon team did us proud once again by winning the APHS Cluster event, this being the third successive year we have lifted the trophy. The PE teacher at Alderman Peel High School, Joe Wilding and the Year 9 Sports Leaders did a great job organising the event, everyone seemed to have a great time. Jodie McCallum (Triathlon Club Leader) made sure all the swimmers got off promptly and all of the competitors were roared on by a host of enthusiastic parents and supporters.

Cluster Netball Tournament

Our netball team won the APHS Cluster High 5 Tournament at the Alderman Peel High School. We originally had a squad of nine but on the morning of the event three pulled out due to illness/injury. All of the team played exceptionally well, their positional play, footwork and shooting were of a high quality. Burnham Market pushed us all the way but we came out eventual winners. The event would not have been so successful if it were not for the great organisation from Joe Wilding (PE Teacher) and the APHS Sports Leaders from year 10.

Sports Day 2011

admin — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 16:08:06 +0000

As usual we had a hugely successful Sports Day in July. There were a wide variety of serious and fun races watched by an enthusiastic audience who encouraged all the way.

It was the Cormorants team who eventually ran out as winners of the ‘Rivett Shield’ ably led by their captains Luke and Georgina. It was a great team effort from everyone from Dave Dalton the scorer to Wyatt Earp selling refreshments, thanks very much indeed.

We like to think that we are all winners on the day but honours went to Alfie Harrod winner of the Key Stage 2 marathon, Joel Philpott winner of the Early Years marathon, Katie Belton winner of the Early Years best placed girl and Emily Everard winner of the Key Stage 2 best placed girl. Every child was awarded a rosette in their team colours from our ‘Guest of Honour’, Sal Savory, a real souvenir of a lovely day.

We have been welcomed as part of the Get Set Network for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in London. We submitted plans for our commitment to school sport and sporting opportunities for young people.

Our Year 3/4 tennis team won the Wells Cluster event and then won the North Norfolk finals winning 23 out of 24 matches. We now go through to represent North Norfolk in the County finals on 8 July at Easton College. We are very proud of their achievement.

Cluster Mini Tennis Tournament

Our Year 3 and 4 tennis team did very well at the Cluster Mini Tennis tournament at Alderman Peel High School recently. We took two teams of four and they came an overall 1st and 2nd. It was team B which won the trophy and they each received an engraved medal too. We now move on to represent the Cluster in the North Norfolk finals.

The winning team B was Blue, George, Neve and Nico. Team A only finished two points behind the winners, they were Gus, Ben, Lily and Abby.

Fencing Tournament

Beth won our school fencing tournament and represented us at the cluster event at the Alderman Peel High School where she was a runner up. Emily and Ben were selected to act as judges and a fine job they did too.

High 5 Netball North Norfolk Finals at Sheringham High School

admin — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 18:19:07 +0000

Having qualified for the High 5 Netball Area Final the Langham team did exceptionally well. We missed out on qualifying for the County final by just one place. Our improvement was very noticeable as we only lost to the eventual winners, Astley, 1-0. A big thanks to Christina Everard and Jodie McCallum who organised the team so well.
