We still have a few spaces remaining for Years 4, 5 and 6 and with the netball league coming up later on in the year we would love for more children to join.
Please email Miss Gledhill in the office to sign your child up office@hartlebury.worcs.sch.uk
Well done to the team of Year 5/6 children who attended the football tournament at the Kidderminster Harriers Centre of Sporting Excellence on Monday 9th October 2023.
We joined over 250 children who played matches in the sunshine.
The children won a few games, drew a few and lost a few but showed great perseverance throughout.
It was difficult in such warm weather but the children didn’t give up and showed great teamwork.
A special thank you to Mrs Haydon for bringing extra drinks for the children and to Mrs Roach who helped manage the team!
A great afternoon was had by all.
The Year 3/4 football team played its first match of the season on Thursday 13th February 2020 against Offmore primary school. In a close encounter Hartlebury came out winners 7-6 in a very entertaining game. In muddy conditions the team kept hold of the ball well with some very nice passing between the midfield and attack. The goals were well taken with Emma, Oliver, Josh and Spencer all getting on the score-sheet. Martha and Sydney stayed strong in defence as Hartlebury hung on to the victory.
Well played everyone what a great first game!
On Thursday 10th March 2022, some children in Key Stage 2 had the opportunity to take part in a cricket taster session with Lyndsey from Worcestershire County Cricket Club.
Table cricket is an adapted version of cricket, played on a table tennis table and specially designed to give all young people the chance to play and compete in the sport we all love.
Table cricket is a very strategic game! There are different scoring zones around the table and, just like in regular cricket, fielders have to be carefully positioned to prevent runs or to get the batter out.
Teams of six take it in turn to bowl or bat, with the bowler using a ramp to deliver the ball. The batter scores by hitting the ball into the scoring zones, avoiding the fielders if they can!
The children all had a fantastic time. Thank you so much to Lyndsey for the fun and engaging sessions!
On Friday 25th November 2022, a group of Year 5 and 6 children took part in Jumping Jaxx training with Mrs Goddard from the sports partnership.
Children learnt a range of games and activities that they will now be able to lead for the younger children in our school.
Well done to all of the children who took part.
We can’t wait to see you leading activities at lunchtimes!
Wow! What an amazing first day of National School Sports Week.
We were joined by Oddstepperz for a Street Dance Day.
Their guiding principle is centred around the belief that dance has the power to transform lives by fostering confidence, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and cultivating a positive attitude towards physical exercise.
Every child from Preschool up to Year 6 had a brilliantly active day filled to the brim with fun activities, dancing and games!
Thank you so much to Darrel and Charlotte. We had so much fun.
Thank you to the PTA for paying for this opportunity for the children!
The PTA are on a mission to make the school a better place for children to learn and experience days, such as this one, make all the difference!
On Friday 20th November some of the children at school took part in a live ‘Kindness’ GoNoodle organised by the Wyre Forest School Sports Partnership.
As we were celebrating World Kindness Week it was the perfect ending.
It was very ‘kind’ of the Sports Partnership to organise this for the local schools.
Well done to everyone who took part.
On Friday 10th June 2022, a group of children from Year 4 and a group from Year 5 had the opportunity to go to a tennis festival at Stourport Tennis Club.
The teams rotated around 6 tennis skills stations and accumulated points as they completed each challenge.
We were so impressed by the children’s tennis skills!
Well done all.
On Tuesday 20th June 2023, all of our children enjoyed a tennis day with Andy and Mike from Ombersley Tennis Club.
Due to the rain we took part in the hall but still had a great time.
We played traffic lights to practice our tennis ready positions. Then, we practiced our volleying to each other before practicing our volleys over a net.
Thank you to Andy and Mike for such a great day!

On Saturday 8th February 2020, our Year 6 football team travelled to Wyre Forest leisure centre to play against Wyre Forest Phoenix. An exciting game ended up finishing in a 3-3 draw. Hartlebury managed to come back from 3-1 down with Leo grabbing two excellent goals towards the end of the match. Player of the match went to Thomas, who was exceptional in defence heading away danger and stopping opposition attacks.
Well done team Hartlebury another great performance!

We have had a really exciting first day of National School Sports Week with our special guest – Lark Davies. Lark is a rugby union player and has recently signed for the Bristol Bears at club level. Lark is an England women’s national rugby team player and she is a Six Nations Grand Slam champion!
We were so excited for Lark to visit our school and she inspired us all during assembly this morning telling us all about her life and how she got into rugby when she was at primary school. Children even had the opportunity to ask Lark questions and we learned so much about her and her love of rugby!
After the assembly, most of the children attended a fun rugby session where Lark taught us the important skills of attacking, defending and even kicking!
The children all had a fantastic time and we are so grateful to Lark for coming to see us!
We are all well and truly inspired, thank you Lark!
Please look at more of our photos from this exciting week in our gallery!

We had great fun taking part in javelin, balancing activities, relay races, target shooting and hockey!
Well done to all of the children who took part and showed great determination and teamwork.
We are so proud of you all!
Our Year 5 children are well underway in preparing to become Year 6’s, as they all took part in the Jumping Jaxx training on Thursday 11th July 2024.
This fantastic program teaches them to become play leaders and next year, they will run some small games sessions for the Key Stage 1 children at lunchtimes.
They learnt lots of new skills and games, had fun whilst doing it and I’m sure will make great leaders next year.
Well done Year 5!
On Thursday 21st November 2019, Hartlebury Key Stage 2 girls football team went to Stourport High school to take part in the ESFA Girls Football tournament.
The girls were in a group with other local schools and managed to finish top of this group. The girls won 2 games and drew 1 at the group stage. A great team effort in the group stages with excellent defending from Martha, Chloe and Suran as well as excellent goalkeeping from Imogen. Also, great attacking from Emma, Georgia, Daisy and Sienna.
In the semi-final, Hartlebury played Franche Primary School and won a close game 1-0 after extra time with Laila scoring the only goal!
We were through to the final where we were against Hagley Primary School whom we had previously drawn with in the group stage. It was a very close fought match with a free kick from Laila making the game 1-1 with 4 minutes to go. Unfortunately, Hagley scored the winning goal with the last kick of the game, not giving Hartlebury a chance to respond. A special mention to Imogen, who kept 4 clean sheets and only conceding 2 goals all tournament.
Well done Hartlebury on a great team performance! We are very proud of you all.
Year 4 and Year 2 are having rugby sessions with a coach from the Worcester Warriors Rugby Club as part of their Tackling Health project. Children have been developing the skills of; listening to instructions, playing together as part of a team, being more confident and developing self-discipline.
Year 6 and Year 3 have been taking part in cricket sessions delivered by the Worcestershire Cricket Board. Children have been working on their cricket skills such as Hand-Eye Coordination with Throwing & Catching, their Bowling Technique and their Fielding skills.
Year 1 and Year 5 have been developing their Athletics skills in their PE lessons this term. AJB Sports in Education have led the sessions. So far, children have worked on their running technique and they have also done javelin!
Year 5 have taken part in their Play Leader Training. The aim of the Playground Leaders Scheme is to introduce and develop leadership skills in children by training them up and getting them to organise activities for other children in the playground. Hopefully very soon we will all be together again on the playground and the Y5’s can use everything that they have learnt!
Wow! Well done everyone.
