Pupils at Worksop academy celebrate own sports achievements along with World Cup

Football featured strongly in this final term of the year at Worksop’s Norbridge Academy, with great school team performances, and support for England’s match against Mexico at a special breakfast club viewing of the game’s highlights.

Year five pupils also represented the school at the Delta Games in Doncaster, with a very respectable fourth place finish and impressive teamwork throughout the day.

For the fourth year in a row, Norbridge Boys reached the prestigious Parry Cup Final.

A school spokesperson said: “This year's final was tough, with neither team able to be separated in normal time, meaning the game went to penalties.

"Every single member of our team showed incredible grit, determination and resilience throughout the match.

"Most importantly, they were the very best they could be, demonstrating outstanding teamwork, sportsmanship and effort.”

“The final was decided by the very last penalty, with Ramsden narrowly winning the shootout 6–5.

“A huge congratulations to Ramsden on their victory. And to our fabulous Norbridge Boys’ team – commiserations, but you should all be incredibly proud of yourselves.”

At last week’s Delta Games at Doncaster Athletics Club, Norbridge pupils took part in a range of track and field events, showing determination, resilience and great teamwork throughout the day.

The school spokeperson added: “We are incredibly proud of their effort and sportsmanship, and they should be thrilled with their fourth place finish.

“Thank you for representing the academy so brilliantly and for always striving to be the best you can be. You were a credit to us all.”

Monday morning saw over 200 children at a free breakfast club, to re-watch England make it through to the quarter finals of the World Cup with their friends.

They tucked in to bacon and sausage sandwiches, pancakes with syrup, and all of the usual breakfast favourites, while watching highlights of the England game, then again during morning registration so everyone could join in the excitement.

All pupils were able to wear their favourite football kits to school.
