Melissa, the lady who taught the fitness session, gave our school a lovely compliment.
“Your children are a credit to your school. It was the nicest trial I have ever done. All the children were very polite and listened really well. You are a lovely village school and I am really pleased the children all enjoyed it today. I hope to be able to come back soon!
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.

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 18th March 2022, a group of Year 4 children attended a Quicksticks Hockey Festival at the Stourport High School Astro Turf pitches.

Some of our children were even lucky enough to get autographs from some of the players including Worcestershire’s Pat Brown who has played for England. Some children were also lucky enough to get a photograph with him! We then walked back to the train station before boarding the train back to Hartlebury Station.

We were so impressed with the children’s engagement in this activity and the smiles that were on everybody’s faces showed what a fantastic time we were having.
Thank you Vijay!

We have had a great day on Thursday 22nd June 2023, learning how to play the inclusive sport of goalball.
Children in Years 2-6 have all had a go at the sport.
Goalball is a team sport designed specifically for athletes with a vision impairment.
Participants compete in teams of three, and try to throw a ball that has bells embedded inside of it into the opponents’ goal. The ball is thrown by hand and never kicked. The children all wore blindfolds so that they had to really use their sense of hearing to stop the ball.
Thank you to Mrs Goddard from the Wyre Forest Schools Sports Partnership for running our sessions. We all had a great time.
Year 1 have been dancing to music in their classroom today as part of their National Schools Sports Week activities.
Thank you so much to Tom Palmer who is the goalkeeper for Kidderminster Harriers for coming into school on Wednesday 12th July 2023, to show the children the team’s league promotion trophy.

Thank you so much Tom, we had a great afternoon!
Good Luck for the upcoming season.

Thank you so much to Open Trail for coming in and leading Learn to Ride sessions at school on Tuesday 19th September 2023.
The children that took part, all grew in confidence and some children had even made enough progress to take part in Bikeability later on in the week.

Well done to all of the children who took part in Bikeability.
Some of our Year 4s took part in Bikeability Level 1 on the playground where they learnt how to maintain their bicycles, how to glide, how to control their bikes and how to be aware of their surroundings.
Some of our Year 5s took part in Bikeability Level 2. This began on the playground but then took place on the roads around the village. Children learnt to start and stop with more confidence and they passed stationary vehicles. They also developed their understanding of the road including signals, signs and road markings. Finally, children learnt how to negotiate the roads.
Well done to everybody who took part and thank you to the Bikeability team for running our sessions!
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.

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.
Some of our children had a great time today taking part in the Worcestershire School Games Sensory Adventure Walk on our school field, organised by @The Wyre Forest School Sports Partnership.

Well done to all of our wonderful children who took part!
