A group of Year 5 and 6 students recently attended a basketball engagement event at Meole Brace Secondary. The session was led by Year 9 students, giving the pupils the chance to try different skills and drills under their guidance before taking part in a friendly tournament.

During the skills portion, the groups were incredibly helpful, supporting the Year 9s by demonstrating techniques to the rest of the participants. In the tournament, they showed remarkable resilience: after losing their first game 2-0, they bounced back to win the remaining matches and progressed to the knockout stages.

Their determination continued as they reached the final, which ended in a very competitive draw. The winner was then decided by free throws, with the opposing team successfully scoring their first attempt. Throughout the session, the students displayed fantastic sportsmanship, immediately congratulating the winning team.

Well done to all involved for their effort, resilience, and teamwork – you were all brilliant!

We took a group of Year 6 students to represent Coleham at the School Games Dodgeball Tournament. They did brilliantly and, although they very narrowly missed out on progressing from the group stage, their positivity never dropped. The laughs and smiles continued throughout the day, and they were able to play additional friendly matches against other schools.

The event finished with a children vs staff and leaders game — where the children absolutely demolished the staff team! It was amazing to see so many pupils showing honesty, sportsmanship, and genuine enjoyment throughout.

Well done to everyone involved!

A group of Year 4 children recently took part in a Dodgeball competition at Mary Webb Secondary School. Well done to all the children for their fantastic effort and determination, always trying their very best. It was lovely to see them working so well together as a team and demonstrating excellent sportsmanship throughout the event.

Although they didn’t make it through to the finals, they truly gave it their best shot and should be very proud of themselves.

We took a group of children to an U10 girls’ football tournament. The team played fantastically, winning one game and narrowly losing the other two 1–0. Both defeats were against very strong teams who dominated their groups and went on to reach the final.

Our team showed excellent grit and determination, defending brilliantly throughout. They held their heads high and were rightly proud of their performance. Well done to all the team.

A group of ten Year 4 children went to the Sports Village to represent Coleham in an indoor cricket event. They played brilliantly, winning every game in their group except one, which they lost by just a single point. This still meant they topped the group and progressed to the semi-final.

They absolutely smashed the semi-final and secured their place in the final. The final was extremely close, but thanks to some fantastic hits and even better catches, they came away as overall winners of the tournament.

Each and every one of the children played amazingly, all doing their part to secure the win as a team. An incredible performance, well done to all!

We played our final match of the group-stage tournament for the County Plate and faced Baschurch at home in truly horrific weather conditions. The pitch was a wet, muddy bath, but the boys didn’t let this affect their performance. They showed great determination and teamwork throughout, finishing with a fantastic 3–0 win.

Well done, boys! A great effort all round.

A group of Year 6 students were selected to take part in an indoor cricket event as part of the School Games competition. They performed incredibly throughout the day, winning all of their group-stage matches and securing a place in the semifinals. Although they played brilliantly, they narrowly missed out on a spot in the final by just a few runs.

In the playoff for 3rd and 4th place, they once again showed great determination, losing by only two runs. Despite these close results, the team finished the event feeling very happy with their 4th-place position – and rightly so!

There were countless fantastic catches, powerful hits, and moments of excellent teamwork. The whole team should be extremely proud of placing 4th in a tournament that involved 12 schools.

Well done to all involved!

We are so proud of every single pupil who took part. Well done, Team Coleham!

Ten students took part in a hockey tournament run by the Sports Leaders at Meole Brace. Both teams performed brilliantly, making it into the knockout stages, one in the Cup after winning their group, and the other in the Plate after placing second.

The Cup knockout was a closely fought semi-final, with Harlescott narrowly missing out after the opposition scored in the final five seconds. The Plate team also played exceptionally well, progressing all the way to the final against Greenfields before just missing out on the win.

With only one of the ten students playing hockey for a club outside of school, the level of skill, teamwork, and determination on display was outstanding. Every player should be incredibly proud of their performance and many have now been encouraged to pick up a stick and give hockey a go!

What an incredible performance from our group of U11 netballers at Shrewsbury Sports Village! The team played three superb matches and won every single one, showing exceptional teamwork, focus and determination from start to finish.

Miss Lewis cannot put into words how incredibly proud she is of every single one of our children who took part in the Area Athletics 2025 event. You all represented Coleham with such pride, determination, and spirit — it was an absolute joy to watch.
