Points were collated throughout the day with St Margarets being crowned the champs! A new prize this year was presented to Eleanor from Warren Wood and Alfie from St Margarets who demonstrated the most impressive skills throughout the day.

On Tuesday yr 5 and 6 pupils made the trip up and Yr 7 and 8 pupils today were lucky enough to benefit from the trip which followed the same format each day. A morning briefing and warm up was followed by some role tasks where groups were split up into sports journalists, team manager, fitness coaches, physiotherapists, nutrititionists and football scouts. After lunch a tournament was played on the pitches with a presentation ceremony to close the day. Thanks very much to the David Beckham Academy for allowing us to have this visit.
