Well played girls.

Silver Award

We are proud to announce that Hambridge Primary School has achieved the Silver Award from Sainsbury School Games.

This award further underlines the schools commitment to developing wider opportunities for our pupils.

The award is given based on the number of children participating in school sports clubs as well as the number of children who are given the opportunity to take part in sport against other schools.

Last year we entered teams into competitive competitions in Football, Netball, Tennis, Rounders, Cricket, Gymnastics, MultiSports, Indoor Athletics, Badminton and Hockey.

In 2015/2016 we aim enter more competitions with more teams increasing the opportunities for pupils at Hambridge.

Rugby Team show Heart at School Games Final

The Hambridge School Tag Rugby Team performed admirably at the Sainsbury's School Games Tag Rugby Finals. Hambridge originally entered two sides into the competitive Huish CLP event with the A team being knowcked out in the Semi Finals and the B Team reaching the final. In doing so they automatically qualified for the Sainsbury's School Games Finals. 

Unfortunately the young B team (Made up of Year 4 and 5  children) were unable to reproduce the performances that had seen them make the finals day. They did however produce some gutsy displays against teams made up of older children. The future is bright for Tag Rugby at Hambridge.
