Our school is part of the Burnley Schools Sports Partnership and also work with Burnley Football Club in the Community to enhance the sporting provision for our children. We are very proud to announce that we won the Gold Award for our sports provision in 2018, this year we are aiming for the Platinum!

School Games run competitions throughout the year that our children take part in. These events include a variety of different sporting activities and are inclusive of all abilities. The children thoroughly enjoy every event and our team spirit is second to none; we have fantastic support from our staff and parents.

After each sporting event, our Sports Leader children write a report. You can view these reports below.

Burnley Football Tournament

On the 18th October, the boys’ Football team took part in a Burnley U11 football tournament that took place at the Prairie Sports Village. As we arrived at the Prairie we warmed up to get ready for our first game which was Worsthorne and we won 7-0. Moving on to the second game we kicked off against St John’s and sadly we scored an own goal. We knew we could score, so we kept going luckily we got an equalizer to make it 1 all. In the group stage we placed top of the group and we managed to get through to the semi-finals and replayed St Johns and beat them 2-1. After an amazing day, we made it through to the final which will take place at Barnfield (Burnley’s training ground) and we will be playing; Briercliffe, Worsthorne and Christ the King. If we win we’ll go to a Premier League ground and we will travel there on the first team Burnley coach.

CVL Football Competition

On the 10th October we played a CVL football competition. This competition is played within the school cluster this has 6 schools in it. So every school plays each other. We really enjoyed this competition because we played with different pupils that we don’t usually play with. When we played our first match we were still getting used to how some pupils played; we draw that game but we supported each other and never gave up. On the football pitch we showed respect to the referee’s decisions and played fare. We trusted each other. As a football team we would like to thank all our parents and carers for the support they gave us.
