Match Report: Basketball Tournament
On Tuesday (9th December) this week, the Y5/6 Basketball team took part in the Area Finals at Angmering. Across the tournament, they recorded 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, showing determination and steady improvement throughout.
From the opening tip-off to the final buzzer, teamwork was at the heart of everything they did. Ball movement was sharp, communication was strong, and every player contributed—whether through scoring, defending, or creating opportunities for teammates.
The toughest game came against TAB, a side known for their intensity and physical play. Despite the pressure, the team held their own impressively. They stayed composed, matched TAB’s pace, and fought for every possession. Even when the game tilted against them, their resilience and unity were clear to see.
To conclude the tournament, the team entered a play-off for 5th and 6th place against Elm Grove. It was a tightly contested matchup, with both sides defending fiercely. At the end of time, the score remained 0–0, sending the game into a sudden-death finish where the first goal would decide the winner. It was a tense and high-energy showdown, showcasing once again the team’s determination and collective effort as Seb scored the winning goal!
Overall, the team can be proud of their performance and the strong sense of teamwork displayed throughout the competition. My Player of the Match went to Arthur for his sheer determination and energy and the team’s player of the match goes to Seb.
Y6 Area Football Finals – Match Report
Our Y6 squad put in a brave and spirited performance at this year’s Area Football Finals, showing determination, teamwork and real heart throughout the tournament.
Despite narrow defeats in three of our matches, including one against the eventual champions Thomas A Beckett, the team continued to give everything right to the final whistle. We managed to win one game against Storrington and then drew 0-0 in a hard-fought battle with West Park.
With two of our Y6 pupils unwell, the team rallied together with the help of the Y5 football team and the boys responded brilliantly to the change. A huge thank you goes to Elliott and Seb, who stepped up to support the squad when we needed them most.
We finished in a very respectable 10th place, though the final standings did not truly reflect the quality of our play, effort, or attitude. Special mention must go to Rory, who made a string of outstanding saves in goal, keeping us in several tight matches. Our Man of the Match was Alfie, who quite literally played his socks off—tireless, committed, and fearless in every challenge. Well done to the whole team for representing the school with pride, resilience, and sportsmanship. A fantastic effort all round!

Match Report – Year 5 Boys & Year 5/6 Girls vs Lindfield
It was a wet and soggy afternoon on a pitch that quickly turned into something close to a mud bath, but that certainly didn’t stop the fun—or the goals!
Year 5 Boys – Brilliant 10–0 Win
The Year 5 boys put on a fantastic performance, securing a dominant 10–0 victory. Despite the slippery surface, the team played with great enthusiasm and teamwork, sliding through the mud and loving every moment.
Year 5/6 Girls – Superb 12–0 Victory
Not to be outdone, the Year 5/6 girls delivered an incredible 12–0 win. They adapted brilliantly to the conditions, showing skill, confidence, and plenty of smiles as they splashed their way to a big result.
Although the parents were unable to stay and watch today, my apologies about that, I hope they don’t mind too much—I’m sure they made good use of their time!
A huge well done to all the players. Muddy, messy, and full of fun—the perfect afternoon of football!
Year 5/6 Girls’ Football – Southern Area Finals Match Report
On a very cold afternoon/evening of Tuesday 25th, our Year 5/6 girls’ football team travelled to Littlehampton to compete in the Southern Area Finals, facing some of the strongest schools in the region. Despite the challenging conditions, the team showed outstanding effort, determination, and resilience throughout all five initial matches.
Tight Games and Strong Defending
The girls battled hard across the tournament, drawing three games 0–0. Our defence remained organised and disciplined, and the team worked brilliantly together to keep opponents at bay.
A huge highlight of the event was Jess, who was outstanding in goal. She made a series of superb saves, keeping us in matches and giving the team confidence throughout the competition.
Two Tough Losses
We unfortunately lost two games, including one against the eventual winners, who proved to be a very strong side. Even in these matches, the girls showed great spirit and never gave up.
So Close—but the Goal Just Wouldn’t Come
Although we created good chances in several games, we just couldn’t find the finishing touch on the day. The effort, teamwork, and attitude were all there—only the goals were missing.
Despite the results, the girls represented the school brilliantly. Their resilience in the cold, strong defensive performances, and outstanding goalkeeping from Jess were real positives. Well done to the whole team for an excellent effort in a tough competition!
School Football Match Report
It was an action-packed afternoon of football on Monday 24th, with both our Y5/6 and Y4 teams giving their all on the pitch in two exciting fixtures.
Y5/6 Match: A Brilliant 4–2 Victory!
Our Y5/6 team produced an impressive performance, securing a well-deserved 4–2 win. From the first whistle, the team showed great teamwork, determination, and energy.

Up front, our attackers were clinical, scoring four excellent goals to seal the match!
Y4 Match: A Tough 6–1 Defeat
The Y4 team faced a very strong and well-organised Steyning team and unfortunately fell to a 6–1 defeat. Despite the scoreline, the team showed real resilience throughout the game. They continued to battle for every ball. There were moments of great passing and teamwork. The team’s hard work paid off with a well-taken consolation goal. Even in defeat, the players demonstrated brilliant sportsmanship and a willingness to keep trying – qualities that will help them grow and improve. They should be proud of their commitment and effort.
Girls’ Football Tournament Report – Tuesday 18th November – Our girls’ football team put on a fantastic performance at this week’s locality football tournament. They showed brilliant teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the event.
The team played four matches, winning three out of the four games—a tremendous achievement! Their strong defence was a highlight of the tournament, as they only conceded one goal across all matches. With confident passing, great communication, and plenty of enthusiasm, the girls impressed both supporters and myself.
Thanks to their excellent results, the team finished as runners-up in the competition. We are incredibly proud of their effort and improvement.
Well done to the whole squad—you represented the school brilliantly and well done Jess – she used her hands!
A Fantastic Day of Football for Our School Teams! All three of our school teams played brilliantly on Monday (17th November), showing wonderful teamwork, huge effort, and amazing sportsmanship throughout every match!
The B Team had an incredible game in the semifinals against a very strong Steyning A team. They worked hard, passed the ball beautifully, and never stopped trying. After a tight match, it went to penalties, where Steyning A just managed to win. Even though the B Team didn’t make the final, they should be extremely proud of how well they played and how much determination they showed.
The A Team also shone, making it all the way to the final! They played exciting football from the very start, with great defending, clever passing, and real bravery. In the final, they faced Steyning A as well in a thrilling match that went to extra time and penalties. Even though Steyning A won the shootout, our A Team’s effort, teamwork, and spirit were outstanding.
The C Team put in a fantastic performance too, showing huge enthusiasm and brilliant teamwork. A special thank-you goes to Teddy, who stepped in at the very last minute to help the team. His willingness to jump in and support the C Team made a big difference and showed amazing school spirit.
We also want to celebrate Rupert, who was named Player of the Match for his outstanding effort in goal. He made some brilliant saves and worked so hard to keep hope alive for his team. Well done, Rupert!
Overall, every single player should feel incredibly proud. You all played with energy, fairness, and fantastic attitude. Well done —what a brilliant day of football!
Congratulations to our incredible Year 4 basketball team on Tuesday (11th November) for their outstanding performance in this week’s tournament! The children showed fantastic teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship from start to finish. Throughout each match, the team demonstrated excellent passing, confident dribbling, and great communication on the court. Their positive attitude and willingness to support one another made them stand out as true champions. We are extremely proud of all the children who took part. Well done, Year 4—what an amazing achievement! Keep up the brilliant effort and enthusiasm.
OCTOBER
On Wednesday 22nd October, just before half term, our Y3 & Y4 Cross Country Team took part in our annual locality cross country event. I was really impressed with all the children but in particular especially proud of Rieko’s resilience in completing the race despite losing his shoe a couple of times. The Y4 boys absolutely smashed their race, with Jack, Zach and Ethan finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Well done to all the children.
Congratulations to our Y5/6 Basketball teams who played in the locality tournament on 8th October. Both teams played 3 games and won 3 games and I’m please to announce that they will both be able to play in the Southern Area Basketball Finals on Tuesday 9th December. 
Yesterday, Thursday 6th October) our Y5 & Y6 Cross Country Team took part in their locality Cross Country event at Steyning Primary School. It was the perfect weather for an afternoon run and all the children were excited to get moving. Individually, we had some fantastic finishes with Casper 1st, Teddy 3rd and Ollie 6th in the Y6 boy’s race, Izzy 3rd in the Y6 girl’s race, Nell 2nd, Summer 3rd, Jess 4th in the Y5 girl’s race and Seb 1st, Herbie 3rd, Noah 4th in the Y5 boy’s race. We won the Y6’s boys race on points and both the Y5 boy’s and girl’s race on points which meant we won the event over all. Well done to all the children who took part, they were all superstars despite a few wobbles at the start of some of the races.
Congratulations to the Y1& Y2 Cross Country Team who went to Steyning Primary yesterday (2nd October) to take part in a cross-country event. I am so proud of all the children, some of whom showed remarkable resilience in finishing a tough race. We had some incredible results which shows our Y1&2’s are using their track time to the max.! Special mention to Y1 girls Amelia (1st) and Georgie (2nd), Y1 boy Elijah (1st), Y2 girl Willow (1st), and Y2 boys Max (1st) and Ezra (3rd) for some amazing running.
Well done to all the children in Y3/4/5&6 who took part in the Stoolball festivals over the last couple of weeks. It was great to see so many children from, not just St Peter’s, but our locality schools, taking part in the festivals. Not many of the children had heard of Stoolball, let alone played the game. It was a great opportunity to practice their bowling, batting, and catching skills.
JULY
Congratulations to our Y6 Stoolball team who took part in the Area Finals last week. Having not actually played Stoolball this year apart from a brief half an hour “this is how we play and the rules” tutorial the day before, they only went and smashed it! Having lost the first game to Arundel Primary School, they went on to win all their other games, hitting 6’s and 4’s and catching some great balls. They finished in joint place with Arundel, so it came down to runs of which one school score 204 and one scored 205! (Due to controversy with Arundel’s game against Sompting and having 9 players on the pitch with our game, although they scored 1 more run than us, it was decided both schools would take 1st Place!) A thoroughly deserved win! Well done children. Special mention to Edwin for his excellent bowling!
Congratulations to our Y5 Rounders team who took part in our locality tournament on Friday 4th July at Upper Beeding Primary School. The children had a great time on what proved to be a warm afternoon. We showed some great fielding skills and our batting was superb. Well done to Mellie-Belle whose bowling was outstanding, giving away only one ‘no ball’ throughout all the matches played.
SPORTS DAYS – 24th JUNE (KS1) / 27th JUNE (KS2)
Congratulations to all the children for two fantastic sports days! It was very noticeable just how resilient our children really are and we (teaching and support staff) are so proud of them.
It’s important to mention that quite a few children stepped out of their comfort zone and really embraced the spirt of the games. We had a few children who went above and beyond to help others and help other year groups; Nell, Summer, Jessica, Ava, Jessie, Seth, Harrison B. I apologize if I haven’t mentioned all the children but those were a few I asked to help.
KS1 Sports Day:1st Eagles; 2nd Hawks; 3rd Phoenix; 4th Kestrels
KS2 Sports Day: 1st Kestrels; 2nd Hawks; 3rd Eagles; 4th Phoenix

THURSDAY 22ND MAY 2025
Congratulations to our Y3 & Y4 Rounders teams who took part in their rounders festival/tournament yesterday. Y3 had the opportunity to play a non-competitive match against Beeding Primary. The children really enjoyed themselves and it gave them the opportunity to try out different positions as well learn how to play the game in more detail.
Y4’s matches were competitive, and we finished in 1st place winning all 3 of our matches. We fielded some great catches as well as batting some tremendous hits!
A huge thank you to some of the Y6 Sports Captains who came to help. Thank you also to all the parents who came to support us.
W/B: 5th MAY 2025
Congratulations to our Y6 teams who entered the Sussex School’s Tennis Championships on Tuesday as Bede’s Secondary school. The children were amazing and played really well. I spoke to the children after and they all had fun despite it being a tough competition and a very high standard. One of our boys teams finished in 3rd place which they were all really excited about. Thank you to the parents that took the children; it’s not always easy when I can’t be there to support them, but your support is invaluable.
“Your children who played today were absolutely wonderful! They competed brilliantly and were true sportsmen/women. Their behavior was impeccable! Especially as they were not directed by a coach. What lovely children. I do hope they enjoyed the day!” Jane Nash – Tennis Organiser, Bede Secondary School.
Well done to our Y3 and Y4 team who played in a benchball festival at Steyning Primary on Tuesday this week. It was lovely to see so many children having fun and playing a sport they really enjoy! Our Y3’s did amazingly well despite being a team member short but a big thank you to Molly who stepped in at the last minute. There was a little bit of a mix up when they ended up play Jolesfield Y4 team but they didn’t complain and took it in their stride.
Our Y4 team were also short one player but again, despite this, they went on to finish joint 1st with Beeding after drawing in their last game against them (the points were recalculated after a stewards (Mrs Searles) enquiry). Thank you to all the parents for taking them and supporting them.
Finally, well done to the Y2 children that went to Steyning Primary on Wednesday this week to take part in a Multi-sport festival with children from Steyning. They had a great time and were able to take part in a hurdles race, egg and spoon race, throw the javelin and tennis skills activity. The children had a great time. Thank you again to the parents who took them.
THURSDAY 3RD APRIL 2025
Congratulations to the Y5/6 Netball team who attended the Area Finals on Tuesday 1st April. It was an incredibly tough competition and the standard of netball was extremely high. Despite the tough competition, we held our own in several of the games only being completely out classed in one of our games. We won 3 games, drew 1 and lost 3. Unfortunately, this was a very similar situation for 3 other teams so placing came down to goal difference. We finished in 6th place overall which was pretty good considering. Well done team! Player of the match goes to Charlie who kept our defence strong when needed and for great reading of the game. 
Well done to our Y3/4 boys football team who took part in the Area Football Finals on Wednesday 2nd April. 10 teams took part from across the South from Shoreham to Littlehampton and it was an extremely competitive competition. Unfortunately, we lost our first game 2-0 against the tournament’s eventual winners. We then went onto draw our next two games but won our last comfortably. This left us 3rd in the group and playing for 5th or 6th place against Orchards School. At the end of time the score was 1-1 so the boys decided they want to finish on penalties! After taking 3 each, the score was 2-2, it then game down to sudden death. Orchards scored theirs and sadly we missed ours. We finished in 6th place. Player of the Match goes to Rupert for some great saves and his resilience. Thank you to all parents who have travelled to Angmering these past few weeks. It’s a long trek and myself and the children really appreciate your continued help and support.
FRIDAY 28TH MARCH 2025
Congratulations to the Y3/Y4 Indoor Athletics team who made it through to the Area Finals at Angmering School this week. It was a brutally tough competition, where we competed against some of the big Worthing schools who make up our Southern Area. Despite this, we had some standout moments with Jack and Zach’s excellent teamwork in the 2+2 event, both Y4 boys’ & Y3 boys 4×4 relay and our 5 stride field events. We finished in joint 6th place out of 7 schools but beat 65 other schools to get to the finals, which is a pretty good result in my opinion. Thank you to all the parents who came to cheer us on.
Huge congratulations to Izzy and Casper in Y5 and Seb in Y4 who took part in the Sussex School’s Cross-Country County Finals yesterday. All three were representing not only St Peter’s but the Southern Area, which ranges from Shoreham across to Angmering and up to us here in Henfield. Izzy and Casper were running with their respective yr5 boy’s and girl’s teams. Izzy finished in 44th place and Casper in 53rd place. Seb who was running as part of the yr6 boys’ team (2 years his senior, finished in 115th place. All races included 180 children from across Sussex, running in a very demanding site. Both Sen and Casper received Bronze medals for their contribution to their team, who finished in 3rd place out of the 9 Areas. Izzy and the yr5 girls’ team finished in 1st place earning herself a well-deserved Gold medal. Congratulations to all 3. This is a superb achievement and I look forward to seeing what they can do next year!
FRIDAY 21ST MARCH 2025
Congratulations to the Y3/Y4 footballers who took part in our locality tournament last Wednesday. It was a great afternoon of fantastic football (lets not talk about the wobbly lines!) Thank you to the Y3 children who stepped up at the last minute to play when one of the other schools could only field one team. They had a few tough matches playing against some strong Y4 teams. Well done to our B team who actually came runners up in their group and massive congratulations to our A team who won all their games and now progress to the Area Finals.
Congratulations to our Y6 netball team who absolutely smashed their locality tournament last Friday. We were fortunate enough to be able to have two teams playing, as Jolesfield were unable to participate. I didn’t get to umpire our Henfield V Henfield game but I heard it was a really hard fought, close match. Both our teams beat Steyning and Beeding by a big margin, however the game against each other was more evenly matched with our A team beating the B team by just one goal. The A team now progress to the Area Finals in a couple of weeks, so the team need to get in some shooting practice as it will be an extremely tough competition. A big thank you to the B team for stepping in the night before and to their parents for their quick replies. It really does make my job easier and it’s so rewarding to know the children are keen to play.
Finally, a huge well done to the Y3/4 girl’s football team who took part in the Area Finals down at Littlehampton Academy on Wednesday this week. The girls showed grit and determination throughout all their games, winning 4, drawing 2 and losing 3. There was no final as each school played every other school in a round robin tournament. We finished in an amazing 4th place, which is brilliant, and I’m so proud of how they supported each other throughout.
FRIDAY 7th MARCH 2025
Congratulations to the Girl’s Y3/4 football team who took part in our locality football tournament on Wednesday this week. The girls played brilliantly and won all 3 of their games and will now go on to represent St Peter’s and the Chanctonbury area in the Area Final at Angmering on Wednesday 19th March. Special mention to Brianna for really getting stuck in, running her “socks off” and for her fantastic goal!
FRIDAY 28TH FEBRUARY 2025
Well done to the Y4 boys’ team that took part in Tag Rugby Festival on Tuesday. They had a fun afternoon of learning some key tag rugby skills in a carousel style activity and then played some fast and furious mini matches against other Horsham schools. The festival was led by Sports Leaders from Collyers College and it was lovely to see past pupil, Edward Robinson Y13, leading one of the activities. Two magic moments awards were given; one to George Dark for working well as a team and remembering to maintain his line and one to Aaron House for always working well with anyone he’s partnered up with and for really coming out of his shell and aiming high.
FRIDAY 14TH FEBRUARY 2025
Well done to the children that took part in the Southern Area Cross Country Finals last Friday at Windlesham House School. The course was already challenging and then with the rain, it made for a tricky run. All the races were highly competitive, but every single child completed the run which should be a great personal achievement for them all and I’m so proud of them. Congratulations to Eddie, Casper and Izzy who will all now progress to the next stage, Sussex Schools finals at Crawley Rugby Club having finished in the top 20. A special mention to the handful of Y4’s who helped make up the teams. Summer finished 27th out of 115 runners and Jessica came 22nd! Sebby also came 22nd out of 130 runners.
Congratulations to the Y3’s & Y4’s that took part in an athletics competition on Tuesday. As Upper Beeding were unable to participate, we were able to put a second team in giving more children the opportunity to take part. The children all had great fun competing in races and field activities like jumping, throwing, and learning how to triple jump. Our Y3’s did amazing considering they were competing against Y4’s and finished 3rd overall. Our Y4’s finished in 1st place, having a phenomenal competition with lots of 1st places. They now progress to the Area finals in March.
FRIDAY 7TH FEBRUARY 2025
Congratulations to our Y5/6 Indoor Athletics teams who took part in our locality competition last Tuesday. This is the first time we have competed in this event since 2019, and it was great to revive it. The children really loved the event, and we had some great results from our running. Overall, we finished 2nd, just 3 points behind winners Jolesfield. It’s a tricky competition to run as we can only take 7/8 children and it’s usually very loud as it is indoors plus there is always lots going on at the same time. Thanks to those parents that accompanied us and came to watch and Mrs Allen for helping look after the children whilst I ran it and complete the score sheet for me.
Well done to our Y5/6 Basketball team who took part in the Area Finals on Tuesday (3rd December) this week. It was a great event, but the competition was fierce. We played well as a team and show plenty of resilience in some tough games. Despite battling on, we finished in a respectable 10th place. Our passing was on point, but we just couldn’t seem to get enough baskets despite plenty of shots.
Congratulations to our two football teams from Y5&6 who participated in the Area Football Finals on Wednesday (4th December) this week. Due to a last-minute team drop out, we were fortunate enough to be able to enter another team into the competition, giving more of our children the opportunity to play. It was a relatively pleasant evening with the weather being on our side for once. Most teams were made up of Y6’s so it was a tough competition for our second team made up of half Y5’s, one Y4 child and the rest Y6’s. Despite this, they played well together and didn’t let losing most matches faze them. Our Y6 team finished the group stages as runners up, so went on to play in the semi-finals against an extremely strong Thomas A Beckett team. After a fairly early goal by TAB, the team pulled together showing great grit and determination and it wasn’t long before we scored a goal of our own bringing the score to 1-1. As the final whistle blew, the result remained the same with neither side being able to get in another goal. This meant we went to dreaded penalties. Unfortunately, having missed 2 of our 3 shots and with TAB sinking 2 of their 3 shots, we lost 2-1 on penalties. The team played a final match to decide 3rd and 4th place against Westbrook but struggled to keep their composure after losing in the semis and finished the event in 4th place. A massive well done to all the boys, 4th place is still a great achievement and I’m proud of all the children that took part. Finally, a big shout out to all the parents who came to support us and helped me get a last-minute team together. It was very much appreciated.
Congratulations to the girl’s football teams that played in our locality tournament on Wednesday 6th November. The girls played in a round robin style tournament, getting to play all teams. The girls all show great resilience, team work and sportsmanship. Our B team finished in joint 4th place with Beeding and our A team finished in joint 1st place with Steyning. Both Steyning and St Peter’s won 3 games and drew 1 game finishing on 18 points and both with a goal difference of 7. Despite losing the light, the girls were still keen to play a final game to decide the overall winner – unfortunately this was not possible as they would have been playing in the dark! Our A team will now progress to the Area Finals taking place 11th December At Angmering.
Well done to our Y4 Basketball team who went to the Area Finals On Tuesday 5th November. The team played really well together considering it was the first opportunity they’d had to play as a team. The games were short, fast and furious and we found ourselves up against some very strong and teams and despite playing well and creating some excellent passes, we just couldn’t seem to get the ball in the net. Despite this, they had fun and encouraged each other regardless of the result. Well done all!
Congratulations to our Y6 Basketball team who, after coming second in our locality tournament, will progress to the Area Finals on Tuesday 4th December at Angmering. The team played extremely well together making great passes, with one superb 3 pointer shot from Eddie. They played a final match against Jolesfield but lost by 1 goal when the final whistle blew. Well done team!
Our Y5 basketball team finished in 5th place despite playing really well. I know they were a little disappointed but they need to remember they were playing against children a year above themselves.
