U14 GSA Netball Tournament Condover Hall

We left the school and travelled to the coach that would take us to Condover. We arrived on Friday night around 5pm. We got settled in our shared dorm and were excited for the variety of evening activities. Following dinner we explored the grounds in the English Country side and did some fun netball drills preparing for the next day. We also went to a Q & A session with two professional netball players called Peace Proscovia and Brie Grierson, which was very interesting and inspiring to hear about their journey. We then went to bed excited to play in the tournament the next day.

We had an early start on Saturday morning, got ready in our netball dresses and headed down to breakfast. Our matches started around 9:30 and were 10 minutes each. We had a good start with a 3-0 win against Queen Anne’s. Following that we had a tough loss against Godolphin & Latymer. However, this did not dampen our spirits. We continued the day strong with a few more matches and had a 10 – 0 win in our last match against Walthamstow Hall B. We then headed back to our rooms to dry off and go to dinner. We had a very fun rest of the night doing some activities inside and outside such as climbing and some air hockey.

On Sunday we travelled offsite after breakfast as we made it into the top group. This time the matches were 7 minutes each way with a very short half time break in the middle. We first played against Notting Hill & Ealing High as well as Walthamstow Hall A. We then played against St Pauls with a very close match but a disappointing loss. We had a little break while waiting to find out our last match to compete for 7th and 8th place which was against Woldingham. We played the full 14 minutes and at the end the score was 10-10 which meant 2 minutes of golden goal. The possession of the ball went back and forth until finally our amazing defence made a great interception in the circle. The ball made its way down the court to Emilia who finished with a great shot to win the match. At the end of all the matches Liv was awarded player of the tournament for Channing from Peace Proscovia. We then made our way back to Condover Hall to pick up our bags and head home.

Overall it was an amazing trip and we all had so much fun and learnt so much during our stay.

U12 School Magazine Netball Cup Match vs Alleyns 

Earlier this term, we had our first netball cup match as an U12 team. We found it really fun and enjoyable and a good way to start the netball season. We were playing against Alleyn’s School who had a really strong team. Unfortunately, the game didn’t go our way, but we learnt lots and found many things to improve on as a team such as the correct passes to make, driving towards the ball and taking time with our passes. Overall, it was a really good experience and we can’t wait to come back stronger next time!

U12 Netball fixture vs Highgate School

Recently week we had our first U12ABC netball fixture against Highgate School. It was fantastic to see so many students out on court, representing the school and enjoying their netball.

There were lots of positives in their play and also some clear areas to build on as we continue developing. We’re already looking forward to the next fixture!

On Tuesday the 23 of September 2025, Channing School went to Highgate School for a netball match, the teams that participated were the A, B and C team. After lots of hard work and great netball playing the score for the C team was 6-3 to Highgate! Both teams worked really well and did their very best! We are looking forward to playing Highgate school again!

U13 Football 

The U13 team started the football season with a massive 13-0 win against Valentines High School in the first round of the English Schools Cup. Luliya was our top scorer with an amazing 6 goals. The other goal scorers were Poppy, Anya and Phoebe. I am very happy with this first match and hope we can continue with impressive wins for the rest of the season.
