  • Rapid Fire Cricket

    Published 28/03/24

    Nine players from Almond Hill attended a Rapid Fire Cricket Festival at Barnwell on Wednesday 27th March. After playing six other school teams, they finished with an impressive 344 runs. The fielding skill and the encouragement for others they displayed was great to see, especially since this was the first event a lot of these children had ever attended. Huge congratulations to Noah for winning Coach's Player and to Marley for being voted as Players' Player.

  • Netball Match Report

    Published 28/03/24

    The girls played netball brilliantly against Ashtree yesterday! They defended well, got into space when needed and had a couple of shots on target. Although we didn't win, the team made Almond Hill proud! Player's player went to Amelia-Jane and the coaches' player was Maddison. Well done girls.

  • Year 5 Handball

    Published 19/03/24

    Our Year 5 Handball team showed great enthusiasm and teamwork during their tournament on Wednesday last week. The team could not have tried harder to win a match and were determined throughout. The goals that both Dylan (5P) and Dylan (5S) scored were down to great passing and a real team effort in defence, as well as in attack. It was wonderful to see some pupils representing Almond Hill for the first time and show such a great attitude. Some huge goalkeeping efforts from Ronnie, Daisy and Dylan (5P). 

    Players' Player: Ronnie 

    Coach's Player: Daisy 

    Well done to the whole team!

  • Almond Hill vs Woolenwick

    Published 14/03/24

    Final Score Almond Hill 1 - 2 Woolenwick

    We went into the match 3 key players down so it was always going to be a tough one. Despite the scoreline, the team played well and definitely deserved the win. It wasn't our day today but there were lots of positives to take from this match. Good effort all. 

    Player's player - Oliver - who took an absolute belter to the face, took a minute to shake it off and was straight back in goal. Superb!

    Manager's player - Alex - another solid role model performance. 

    A big thank you to Roman who stepped up for a second time this season to help the team out when we were low on players (Well done Roman) and to Mr Gibson, Teddy's (Mr penalty's!) Dad for stepping in to ref - very much appreciated.

  • Netball Match vs Shephalbury

    Published 07/03/24

    With three of our squad never having played in a competitive netball match before, we were expecting a tight game against Shephalbury. Lois managed to score the first goal of the match, which showed our attack force were ready for a good game. Unfortunately, no more of our shots at goal were successful but a 4-1 loss against a very experienced squad should not dishearten this team. Daisy, Amelia and Maddison impressed throughout - well done on your first game for Almond Hill. Thanks also to Isabella, our injured player, who scored the game for us. Some of our passing and defending was tremendous. 

    Players' Player (voted by Shephalbury): Olivia 

    Players' Player (Almond Hill): Hetty 

    Keep it up, girls - we will achieve our first win soon.

  • Year 4 Rapid Fire Cricket

    Published 06/03/24

    10 children from Almond hill attended the Rapid Fire Cricket competition at Barnwell on Tuesday. Two children from Year 6 came to help and assisted the staff with the scoring and handing out medals and did a fantastic job! Our year 4 team showed true sportsmanship. They supported and encouraged each other throughout and were a joy to watch. They thoroughly enjoyed playing against the 9 other Stevenage schools and despite not making the finals, they didn’t let this affect their morale or attitude. Their behaviour was outstanding. Well done Almond Hill team, you did yourselves and your school proud.

  • Football Match 28.02.2024

    Published 01/03/24

    The squad went into the cup game a little nervous after previously losing 5-0 to Round Diamond in the league but they were all up for it and went out onto the pitch wanting to take the win. We played 9 v 9 as it was a cup match meaning we didn't have any subs and frustratingly, had to play on a 7 x 7 smaller pitch yet, this didn't stop them from bringing home a fantastic 7-0 victory! A clean sheet for Teddy and Oliver. We started strong from the whistle and continued to play well as a team until the final whistle, 7 goals later. The positive communication between the team was at its very best - truly a joy to watch. Miss Simmons thanks every one of you...
