Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
The final cross country race of the season took place at Tor Leisure in Glastonbury.
It was a fitting climax to the season where, up to the final race, the destiny of the winning Years 5&6 boys team remained in the balance.
The whole team have done themselves proud throughout the season. I have mentioned individuals in previous reports but this time I wish to namecheck the entire team of:
Year 5 girls - Emilia, Matilda and Sofia
Year 6 girls - Chloe and Katie
Year 5 boys - Charley, Charlie, Lewis, Liam, Misi, Ollie and Oli
Year 6 boys - Dennis, Finley, Nathan and Tom
There was an end of season award ceremony after the final race. Finley, having won every race, won the Year 5&6 individual boys trophy. Nathan, after another strong performance, achieved the third place trophy. The boys team were then also announced as winners (out of 25 schools).
On Thursday we hosted the First Schools' Netball Festival at Hugh Sexey's, where the local schools participated in a netball tournament.
Weare, Wedmore, Mark, East Brent, and Lympsham all had 5 games against each other in a round robin tournament. I have to say all the teams played really well, the level of skills and team work shown on the day was superb. This was by far the best Netball Festival I have seen!
A massive thank you to Mrs Allen and the Year 8 sports leaders for running the festival: umpiring the games, collecting scores, and co-ordinating the games. As always they all did a fantastic job and everything ran very smoothly.
All the schools should be very proud of their teams, Congratulations to East Brent for winning the tournament, below is a lovely photo of them receiving the trophy from our Year 8 Netball Captain Mia.
Hugh Sexey's entered two mixed Year 7 and year 8 girls team for this festival. It was great to be able to take everyone who has been working really hard in training over the weeks, to reward them with the chance to experience playing rugby against other local schools in Somerset.
What was really pleasing to see was that only 3 Hugh Sexey girls play weekly for local clubs -the rest of them don't play club rugby. For majority of these girls it was actually their first ever rugby match and they all did superbly.
Hugh Sexey Wolves was led by Aisling Kelway and Hugh Sexey Warriors was led by Hannah Gazzard; both girls play rugby for Winscombe RFC and they were both outstanding in leading their teams on the day.
The girls got to play 5 games; they all loved the experience and had great fun. As a result some of our players would now like to start playing more rugby - which is great to hear.
Well done to everyone involved, especially to the players of the matches: Rosa Roberts for her strong running skills, and Melissa Neill for her ferocious tackling and for scoring some great tries too.
It was a lovely afternoon of rugby - well done to all the local schools which participated. It is great to see girls' rugby improving massively year after year.

The decision has been made to not travel to the Rosslyn Park 7s. This is due to the recent weather and the potential hazards of travelling
