Academy Sports Rundown: 2nd April 2026

It’s been an exciting week of sports; ITV News even made an appearance at the Academy. Read below to see how we got on: 

Year 7 Progress to the Hockey Tournament Finals

Our Year 7 Hockey team had an unbelievable afternoon of Hockey, playing in this week’s round of the local Hockey Tournament.  The team brought home a well earned victory and secured a spot in the finals. Good luck! 

Year 9 Host the Girls Football Tournament

The Academy was proud to host the Girls Football tournament this week which saw seven schools (90 students!) come together for an afternoon of football in the sunshine.  We had great participation from our non club players, as well as our regular football team. The Academy didn’t bring home the win, but it was a fantastic afternoon nonetheless!

The Joys of State School Cricket: ITV News

We were proud to be filmed this week for an upcoming piece by ITV on state school Cricket teams. Our U15 & U13 girls & boys squads were both filmed for the piece, giving all the students a chance to showcase their Cricket skills. 

It was a great morning and we can’t wait to see the results on ITV soon!

U15 IPL Cricket Success 

Our U15 Boys Cricket team recently got a chance to play at the Centre of Excellence and they brought home the win too.  Well done!
