Prae Wood achieves highest award for School Games
15/07/2026 11:13 AM
We are pleased to announce that Prae Wood has, for the first time, achieved the School Games Mark Platinum Award, a government-led award, which recognises a school's outstanding commitment to PE, school sport and physical activity. A school is only able to apply for this level of award once they have achieved the School Games Gold Award for the previous four consecutive years. Mrs Paine is delighted to have finally achieved this award, having started at Bronze level when she joined the school in the academic year 2018/19.
Cricket finals night
13/07/2026 4:10 PM
Having finished top of their cricket league, Prae Wood received an invitation to finals night held at Samuel Ryder last Friday,
First up was a semi final against Wheatfields which Prae Wood won thanks to a combination of great bowling, batting and fielding. Straightaway, the team were put into bat against Samuel Ryder, who had won the first semi final against Fleetville. The team didn't manage to set quite as high a target for Samuel Ryder to chase but got off to a great start with Ayden taking a low catch behind the wicket off the first ball. However, wickets were not easy to come by and in the final two overs an experienced batting pair put on a great defensive display, preventing Prae Wood from taking any further wickets, which would have reduced their opponent's run total.
Nevertheless, finishing runners up out of sixteen local primaries was a great result especially as it was the first time since the league began four years ago that Prae Wood have made it through this far. Thank you to all of the other members of the striking and fielding club who played in earlier fixtures and contributed to the team's success.

Congratulations to La'ren in Year 6 who won a gold medal at the U11 inter-county basketball tournament held at the Essex Sports Arena at the weekend.
Following a series of trials back in April, La'ren was selected to represent Hertfordshire. At the tournament, the Herts team were undefeated beating Norfolk 32-19, Suffolk, 28-14, Cambridge 48-12 and Essex 32-31. The Essex game had travelling spectators on the edge of their seats as the game was won with a free throw with just 0.5 seconds left on the clock. What a great result!
