As we head into the summer, we thought we’d look back on what’s been a really positive period for PE and school sport.
Our football, netball and basketball fixtures have now wrapped up, and it’s been great to see so many students representing the school with real commitment and enthusiasm. A standout moment was our Year 11 netball team, who finished their final season in style by winning the league: a brilliant achievement and fully deserved!

We’ve also had some strong performances from other teams. Our Year 10 girls’ netball team finished second in their league, while the Year 10 boys’ basketball team won theirs. Our U13 girls’ football team also had a great season, winning their league. On top of that, our Year 7 boys were outstanding, completing a brilliant double by winning both the football and basketball leagues.

What’s been most pleasing overall, though, is the level of participation. So far this year, we’ve played 157 fixtures against other schools, with 270 students representing Ash Manor. That’s something we’re really proud of and shows the progress we’re continuing to make in getting more students involved in school sport.


Our House Sports programme has also continued to grow. The last event saw 198 students take part, creating a good atmosphere across the school. Next up is House Rounders, which is always a favourite and something students really enjoy being part of.
We had our GCSE PE moderation very recently, and it was great to see the Year 11 students perform so well after all the effort they’ve put in, both in lessons and after school.
There’s still plenty going on outside of lessons too. We’re currently running cricket, rounders, athletics and fitness suite sessions after school. The fitness suite is open Tuesday to Friday after school, as well as Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 7:45–8:15am. All clubs are free, and students can just bring their kit and come down to get involved. It’s been great to see so many taking advantage of what is on offer.  

As we move into the summer term, the focus shifts to cricket, rounders and athletics, both in lessons and in our extra-curricular programme. We’ve also put several students forward for district athletics trials, which is a great opportunity for them to challenge themselves.
Looking ahead to one of the biggest events of the year, our Sports Day is on June 25th at Aldershot Garrison. It’s always a great day and a real highlight of the school calendar, with lots of energy, competition and school spirit on show.
Finally, a big thank you to all the students for their effort and attitude this term, and to the staff who continue to support fixtures and clubs; it really does make a difference. We’re looking forward to building on this and having another strong term.
