'Let us play!' - Girls football day
What an amazing day! We couldn't be more proud of all the girls in school. Today we took part in the Barclays 'Let us plat!' campaign. Every girl from Nursery to Year 6 took part in some fun football related activities. This has had such a huge impact on the girls football participation and they now regularly participate at breaktimes and lunch times.
The boys also took part in this but in a different way. We learned about the importance of women footballers as role models, equality and fair play. Well done everyone!
