Alleyne’s Academy 0 – 4 King Edward VI High School
Last week a team of Year 10s travelled to Stone, to play Alleyne’s Academy in the Quarter Final of the District Football competition. They went into the game without having played a game in the competition having had a bye in the first round and had to face a side that knocked out the defending champions in the previous round. The game started lively with both teams having good amounts of possession and good chances on goal, with some rocky defending from both sides in the early minutes. But as the King Edward’s defence solidified, the Alleyne’s defence crumbled under the pressure of good possession from the Eddie’s attacking force and elegant passing moves that eventually broke through the defence and gave Joshua Wilson the chance to break the deadlock, which he did with finesse and style. The game carried on in the same style with the Eddie’s midfield dominating possession and constantly putting pressure on the opposing defence and goalkeeper. This carried on for a lengthy spell until, once again, the ball fell to Joshua Wilson who finished easily. The half-time whistle blew shortly after and gave the Stone team a chance to regroup and gather themselves. At the beginning of the second half, Alleyne’s went on the offensive and started to build the pressure on the Eddie’s defence, creating chances with good movement in the attacking half. With resilient defending from Mathew Winnington and Callum Hope and good stops from Jordan Talbot, Stone were prevented from grabbing a goal back. As the Eddie’s midfield started to get more of a foothold in the second half they started to create better chances with Joshua Wilson having many chances to complete his hat-trick before coming off, being replaced by Harry Glover. The third goal came soon after with a brilliant lob-through ball that gave Charlie Clayton the chance to run on to it before dinking the ball over the on-rushing goalkeeper. The heads of the Alleyne’s team started to drop and this gave the Eddie’s attacking force the chance to score the goal of the game. With a brilliant run down the right by Charlie Clayton before neatly cutting the ball in to Joe Shanley, who spun around a mesmerized defender before squaring the ball for Harry Glover to finish off. With this win, the Eddie’s team moves into the semi-final with good momentum as they try to replicate their last years in this tournament by getting to the final. But hopefully they will go one better and finally lift the trophy after being denied twice in the last two years in the final. By Jordan Talbot Y10

Over the last few weeks, all forms in Year 7 have been taking part in a Cricket tournament that is being run by Mr Warrilow and a group of Year 10s. Each form has been playing each other, and all have the chance to get to the final, which will take place on the last week before Easter. At the moment the competition is a very closely-fought thing and it is anybody’s guess who is going to win.
There have been many great performances from both teams and players including one excellent performance by 7SAL who won by 52 runs in their last game; the biggest win of the competition so far. With over 70 students having taken part, the competition has been a huge success in introducing new people to the sport. It is hoped that it will inspire them to take up the sport, whether for a club, or just simply playing for the school team or just for the fun of it. Who knows, you could be the next England cricketing star? Let’s face it, we need all the help we can get at the moment. For anybody who has been inspired to do this, there are training sessions for both Year 7s and 8s on Tuesdays after school, with a coach from Staffordshire Cricket and help again from Year 10s. If you require more information, you can go to Mr Warrilow for more information. By Jordan Talbot Y10 Report by Jordan Talbot Y10 Today King Edward VI High School opened its doors to children from Year 1 & 2 from 4 primary schools: Castlechurch, Gnosall St Lawrence, Woodseaves and Church Eaton. 66 children gathered in the sports hall to take part in a Circus Skills Festival where all the children were taught 5 different skills all found at the Circus. These skills included: Juggling, Diabolos, Hoops, Spinning Plates and Rhythm Sticks. An army of 41 Sports leaders taught these skills, which included pupils from all years of our school as well as many helping out from the sixth form.
The event came about when, a few years ago, local primary schools teachers were trained in circus skills for them to then relay onto their students. This festival was created to carry this on. Mrs Gibbs, PE teacher and Sixth Form Progress Leader, was in charge of the festival and said: “It gives the children a chance to try something different to traditional team games such as football or netball. It gives them a chance to try something new to see whether they would like it or not. It also gives the King Edwards' students an opportunity to act as sports leaders with primary school children” According to the children’s response at the end of the festival they all enjoyed it. When asked whether they enjoyed the activities or not, they all replied with a deafening chorus of ‘YES’ which was filled with enthusiasm and excitement. This definitely shows that this event was a success. Jordan Talbot Y10 11/3/2014 0 Comments Netball Festival at KEVIOn Tuesday 11th March King Edward VI High School Stafford held a High 5 Netball festival. (a 5 a side game with adapted rules for primary children in mixed teams)
This follows on from the very successful primary school festivals already held at King Edward VI High School this year. 7 Primary school teams from the King Edward VI High School cluster participated in this popular event. That was around 50 children. The games took place on the courts at King Edward VI High School, between 4pm – 5.30pm. The emphasis was very much on taking part and enjoying the game of netball as for many children it was the 1st competitive games they had played. High 5 is a 5 a side netball game with modified rules to accommodate the needs of the younger players. Teams were mixed sex. Sports leaders from Y10, Y12 & Y13 at King Edward VI High School, umpired the games, organising the teams, acted as team managers and record the scores. The festival was an opportunity to promote another sporting activity and to work across the whole age range of pupils in the family. All age groups worked together to make the event possible. By holding a netball festival we hope to increase the amount of exercise children are doing. It is a great opportunity for the children to sample an activity in a festival environment and for the sports leaders to gain umpiring and leadership experience. On the evening all games were played in a very sporting atmosphere. The competing teams were from Castlechurch, Church Eaton, Haughton St Giles (2 teams) and Woodseaves (3 teams). All teams played each other and after some high scoring games Castlechurch emerged as the overall winners in a closely contested competition. After school on Tuesday 4th February 63, year 1 & year 2 children enjoyed a tri golf festival at King Edwards.
The event was organised and run by sports leaders in Years 7 – Year 13 from King Edward VI High School. Primary schools in the King Edward cluster were invited to attend. They were: All Saints Infants, Ranton Castlechurch Gnosall, St Lawrence Woodseaves St Pauls Haughton St Giles Church Eaton It was a very popular & successful festival that has offered an alternative sport. It has made golf accessible to lots of children. The children who participated in the festival had lots of fun trying a variety of golf challenges, including, Target golf, cliff hanger, tunnel ball, golf dominoes. The sports leaders from King Edward VI High School were delightful with the young children, helping & encouraging them to be successful at the challenges.
