Primary Schools' Spring Netball Tournament 2025

We were delighted to welcome over 70 Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 students and staff from 6 local primary schools to Kendrick for their Spring Netball Tournament. Students in year groups 3-6 attended with mixed lower and upper school teams from Geoffrey Field, Whitley Park, Christ the King, Ridgeway, Lambs Lane and New Christ Church Primary Schools.
It was a lovely afternoon and the children clearly enjoyed the competition. Many of the younger children had not played competitive sports before, so hopefully it will have been a memorable experience for them!
Some Kendrick students from Year 10 and 11 helped with the event and did a brilliant job of umpiring the games and encouraging the children. The event was supervised by one of our wonderful PE teachers, Mrs Haldane, who did an amazing job of making the competition run so smoothly and thanks also to our fantastic Head of PE, Ms Watkins, for all her support.
This initiative was part of our Outreach and Widening Horizons program, which aims to work with local primary schools to raise the aspirations of local children. For more information on Widening Horizons please visit our website or contact admissions@kendrick.reading.sch.uk.
