Our Year 6 basketball team had a challenging week competing in a tough 3v3 tournament over at Barnwell School. The tournament involved just one net and a rapid 15-second window to score each time a team had possession, which made every moment count! Each game was only six minutes long, with the boys taking on the first half and the girls stepping in for the second.

Despite the fast‑paced format and the high level of competition, our pupils showed brilliant teamwork, determination and positivity throughout the tournament. They adapted quickly to the unusual rules, supported one another and kept pushing right until the final whistle.

We’re incredibly proud of how they represented the school not only in their play but in their attitude, resilience, and sportsmanship. This was clearly recognised by the tournament leaders, as the team walked away with the respect plaque! This is an amazing achievement and a real credit to them all.
