• Rain Scuppers County Cricket Final

  Fri 15 Jul 2016 Paul Kearney

  A much changed group of cricketers made their way off to Warrington Cricket Club in search of the County title on the 15th July. We welcomed Caleb and Bryn to the group and also our new coach and umpire, Mason. Our first game was played under overcast skies and we put in a spirited performance against a strong Greenbank side, ultimately coming up short in a tight contest. It was wonderful to see the happiness of the new players as they scored their first runs for the school and they enjoyed themselves.

   

  Our second game was against Samuel Laycock school and, following an excellent batting performance from Clare Mount, the rain began to fall heavily just one over into the reply from the opposition.

   

  Lunch was taken early but sadly it was to be the end of the proceedings and we left the abandoned tournament having lunched well watching how the professionals play on the big screen, with the boys keen to learn from England and Pakistan.

   

  Thanks to Mrs Stephenson for driving us again and also to Cheshire Cricket Board and Warrington Sports Club for their hospitality. Finally, thank you to the players and my assistant Mason. I am immensely proud of all the representatives of our school in cricket this season and can't wait to start the indoor season with in September.

• Pupils enjoy successful trip to Wimbledon

  Wed 06 Jul 2016 D. Keefe
  Thanks to a kind donation of tickets from The Tennis Foundation, as part of the Beyond the Baseline programme, 8 pupils from Clare Mount enjoyed a day at Wimbledon. The pupils got to watch some senior 'legends' of tennis on Court 2 such as Patrick McEnroe, Jeremy Bates and Monsour Behrami in a highly entertaining game, before seeing former Wimbledon winners Richard Krajicek and Goran Ivanisevic. The pupils then enjoyed some time in the tennis zone and having strawberries and cream by Henman Hill before watching a men's doubles game involving the 2014 Wimbledon Champions Jack Sock and Vasek Pospisil. The pupils 'loved' it! 

  

• Strike Action Tuesday 5th July 2016

  Mon 04 Jul 2016 D. Keefe

  Dear Parents/Carers

   

   

   

  Industrial Action

   

   

  I am writing to alert you that school is to be closed on Tuesday 5th July 2016.  This is because the NUT are planning to take strike action on that day.  Therefore a significant number of our teachers may not be in school.

   

  Please can you make arrangements for the care of your child/ward just in case we have to close the school.

   

  Please note that any strike action will not affect the trip to Wimbledon which leaves on the Monday evening, or Year 11 work experience.  

   

  I apologise for the inconvenience this causes.

   

  Yours sincerely

   

  Mrs K Webster

  Headteacher
