Year 5 Netball Tournament
23/03/2026 12:56 PM
Year 5's netball season also concluded with a tournament at Samuel Ryder, this time it was after school on Tuesday.
Their first pool game was against eventual tournament winners, Samuel Ryder. We weren't able to catch up after a slow start to the eight minute game which finished 2-1 to Samuel Ryder. It was perhaps unfortunate to have been drawn against them first as the team went on to dominant their remaining three pool games with 4-0 wins over Bernards Heath A and Killigrew and a 6-0 win against St Bernadette. With only the top team in each pool going on to contest the semi finals, three wins and a loss was not enough for Prae Wood. Nevertheless, it was a confident team performance with Ayden our stand out goal scorer in his three games at Goal Shooter.
The future looks promising for our Year 5 team who will take part in the St Albans Primary Schools league next year.
Scooter training for Year 2
20/03/2026 1:07 PM
Year 2 were joined by Shirley from the Active and Safer Travel Team on Tuesday to promote safe scooting.
The children practised manoeuvring their scooter safely, using their brake to stop, walking their scooter across the road and were reminded of the importance of Stop-Look-Listen-Think when crossing the road. They thoroughly enjoyed the session, part of our Big Walk and Wheel activities, and we hope to see more of them using their scooters to travel actively to school.

Zach completed the 2.4km course in 9 minutes and finished in 84 place out of 198 runners. Not only was it a big achievement to qualify for the event, but Zach was part of the Hertfordshire Year 5 boys team who finished second overall in the team competition. Well done Zach!
Year 4 Netball v Colney Heath
24/03/2026 3:17 PM
Members of the Year 4 after school netball club, who were not involved in the choir concert, took part in their first friendly netball match against Colney Heath this week.
The girls have been learning to play the High 5 format, which is an introduction to seven a side netball, and had the chance to put their learning into practice against unfamiliar opposition.
The team played well with the final score 4-2 to Colney Heath. Chloe R was voted Player of the Match for some excellent defensive tips and intercepts. Thank you to Mrs Fitzpatrick who has been teaching the girls. She will be pleased to hear how well the team did!
Cross country at Garden Fields
24/03/2026 3:15 PM
The final cross country race of the season took place last Wednesday in near perfect conditions at Garden Fields.
Recent sunshine had dried out the course, which is considered the hardest of the five with three ascents of the Garden Fields hill. Hannah achieved her best finish of the season coming 4th, with an impressive run from Autumn too in 16th. Victoria was 27th, Sophie 51 and debutant, Anya, 53rd. Zach, putting in some extra race practice before the National Cross Country finals, was the first boy home in 11th. He was followed by Phil in 22nd, Taylan in 30th, Theo in 31 and Tom in 32nd.
Well done to all of the Year 6s who have contributed to the team across the five races. Thank you and well done also to the Year 5s who have gained valuable experience ahead of next year's league races.
Year 6 Netball Tournament
23/03/2026 12:58 PM
The Year 6 netballers concluded their season with the annual tournament at Samuel Ryder last Saturday.
Teams in their pool were drawn from Premier, division 1 and division 2, with the top two teams moving through to the semi final stage. Unfortunately, lots of dropped balls and the ball just not finding the hoop, meant the team did not play to their usual high standard, especially against teams in the division below them. They did manage a 1-0 win against St Peters, draws against Garden Fields B, Abbey and Wheatfields but lost to the two Premier division sides, Skyswood and St Bernadette.
It has been a pleasure coaching the Year 6 netballers and we hope that they will continue playing netball in secondary school.
