Tournament Champions

Well done to the Year 3 & 4 girls who took part in the Formby Inter Schools tournament yesterday. The girls scored 14 goals and only conceded 2. They were joint winners with Our Lady Of Compassion so the tournament was decided on penalties. All the girls played superbly and were praised by the organisers for their excellent manners and great team spirit. Well done girls! Thank you to all the parents and supporters who helped with transport and came to cheer the girls on! Mrs Allen

Annual Parents versus Players A Team Match

Mon 29 Jun 2015 Nick Hanlon

Once again the final match for the Farnborough A Team was against their parents in the annual match. This year saw a fantastic turnout of Dads, brothers and cousins playing for the grown-ups and a number of younger brothers (and daughter) playing for the school team.

On a warm June afternoon the parents took an early lead through a series of one touch passes finished off by Mr Hanlon calming slotting past Bailey in goal. It didn't take long for the team to respond with a goal from the youngest player on the pitch, Levi (Rico's brother). The parents responded with goals Giles and Neil and looked to dominate with Chris, Chris and Rob Graham showing some determined tackling (although Rob nearly saw red for a challenge on Arthur!!)

The boys replied with further goals from the Thompson brothers, Oscar and Eric both scoring past their Dad, Graham in goal. Gilson was sent flying by his brother Dana in a crunching tackle and the half finished with Rob scoring.

The 'elderlies', as Eric called, them enjoyed a short break for a drink and a chance to catch breath and add a player with Theo's brother Ethan deciding to join in the fun. The A team began the second half by scoring through Billy who set up by a superb pass from Sophie H, who had handed her refs whistle to Eric at half time. However age and experience took over and with Graham out of goal and the grown-ups on the attack the lead over the A team grew.

The final result saw a win for the parents once again - better luck next year boys!

I would like to thank the boys for a fabulous year and to all the parents for your fantastic support. Good luck to all those boys who are leaving us this year - George, Ben W, Ben L, Dana and Kian and let's have another wonderful season next year - Bailey, Lucas, Rico, Arthur, Theo, Lawrie and Rhys.

Year 3/4 Tennis Tournament

Sun 14 Jun 2015 Mr Tong

Mr Tong took a team of Year 4 children to North Meols Tennis Centre on Wednesday. Georgia, Kai, Adam and Paige all played brilliantly, as it was some of their first tennis tournaments. The sun was shining, and the first game we played was against Norwood, which was very close, with a member of the group losing by 1 point, and another one drawing. The next game against Kew Woods was very well played, as we won convincingly and had to await the news as to whether we made the semi finals. Ultimately, we missed out by a point, but were allowed to play some friendlys whilst enjoying being outdoors in the sunshine. A great morning had by everyone involved, and the four children were all a credit to the school.

Run or Dye at Aintree 2015-Photos added

Sat 06 Jun 2015 FRJS

Our staff team of 11 completed the Run or Dye 5km event at Aintree on June 6th 2015. This fun event involves the competitors being covered in dye every kilometre. Photos of our team have now been added to this page.

Thanks to the generosity of so many people, we think our total amount raised will exceed £1000 in the coming days. This is a fabulous amount and we are so grateful for the help and support we have received.

We decided to use the event to raise money for Debra, the charity that helps raise money for children who suffer from the genetic skin condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa. Children with EB are sometimes called Butterfly Children as their skin is so delicate.

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic skin conditions which cause the skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch. this makes everyday life painful and very difficult. Most people don't know anything about this terrible disease and most families have no warning that their new baby will have EB. I would ask that you all spend 5 minutes of your busy lives watching the video on this link.

I have sadly had personal experience with this horrendous condition. Connor Marsden was a pupil at my previous school in St Helens. Connor had EB and he sadly passed away in July 2014 just as he was becoming an adult. His family lived with the impact of the disorder every day and Connor was always in pain. He had to have blisters burst, wounds bathed and dressings applied before he came to school each day. He couldn't eat normal food and even having a bath was excruciating. I asked the staff team if we could support the charity that helped his family throughout his short life.
