New Kit for HSMS Football Teams

Thu 05 Oct 2017 Mr McGrath

The pupils at Hugh Sexey Church of England Middle School will look extra special at sports fixtures this year.
Firstly our thanks go to Mrs Clare Bean, one of our parents, for securing the funds for the new kit. We also received kind donations from Deane and Sons as well as from Wedmore Real Ale Festival.
The bid was successful and a new set of playing shirts made by Stanno was duly purchased from Eggcatcher in Cheddar. Deane and Sons, a clothing company with close links with Hugh Sexey, kindly agreed to purchase another set of shirts as a gesture of good will.

The football teams have been delighted with the design and are excited to wear the new shirts to fixtures. We hope the shirts will be worn with pride for years to come and the gestures of good will shall not be forgotten.

U13 Girls Football - ESFA Nationals AWAY to Fairlands

Wed 04 Oct 2017 Mr Waterfield

Hugh Sexey's were drawn away and made the short journey to local school Fairlands for the 1st round of the ESFA cup.

Hugh Sexey's started the game very brightly and scored immediately, Izzy hammering the ball home after a defensive error. Fairlands came back strongly and started to counter attack; great defence skills from Hugh Sexey's prevented them scoring.

Good work from Midfield trio Philippa , Daisy, and Jessie who played some smart passing football' which set Georgia up to finish with a lovely goal. Fairlands soon pulled one back, but Millie, our goal keeper, was superb between the posts making some terrific saves.

Just before half time Izzy raced clear through the defence to slot the ball into the bottom corner of the net; the score at half time:3-2 to Sexeys.

In the second half some changes were made: Harriet and Rhiannon were introduced into the game. Defenders Evie C., Millie and Evie J. played solidly all game defending superbly and keeping Fairlands quiet. Evie C. then scored a superb goal in the top corner from outside the area, after good work from a short corner.

Freya Stephens then came off the bench and continued the great work. Izzy completed her hat trick, and Jessie smashed the ball home to finish the game; the final score was 6-2.

A great start to the football campaign girls; I would like to praise the whole team, it was a terrific team effort.- keep up the good work.

Fairlands girls chose Evie C.as the player of the match.

Mendip Junior Cross Country League

Wed 04 Oct 2017 Mr Jackson

What a start to the cross country season for our Year 5 and 6 runners.

We are currently first out of 22 schools in the Year 6 Boys event with incredible performances from Finley who won and Nathan in second. Very strong performances too from Charlie and Ollie who were also in the top 20 out of over 100 runners.

All but one of our runners were debutants; it was a fantastic team effort including Emilia, Sofia, Charley, Lewis, Liam and Misi too.

The bar has been set very high for the remainder of the season.

Yr 6 Visit Ashford Reservoir and Treatment Works

Tue 03 Oct 2017 Mrs Best

Year 6 enjoyed an educational and fun visit to Ashford Reservoir last week. We learnt about the processes involved in cleaning river water so that it is safe to drink. We toured the works and saw where the chemicals are added, how the flocculators work and we learnt about the different filtration processes.

We also measured the width and depth of the rivers on the site and drew a cross section of the river.

We also had lots of fun building dens and exploring the wildlife around the reservoir.
