Trampolining Triumph!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce the incredible achievement of one of our extremely talented pupils, Emily, who has been representing Chapelford in the sport of trampolining.

Starting with the regional round, Emily showed her outstanding skills and clinched victory. She then progressed to the zonal round in South Shields, where she faced schools from across the north of England and Northern Ireland. In an impressive display of talent and determination, she won that round too!

But the excitement didn’t stop there. Last Saturday, Emily took part in the National School Trampolining Finals at the Derby Arena. Competing at a national level, Emily once again triumphed, emerging as the National School Champion in the Year 1-6 Intermediate level!

As if that wasn’t exciting enough, Emily and her family also spotted Princess Charlotte competing in the Novice section, making the event even more special!

Congratulations to Emily for her hard work, perseverance, and success! We are so proud of you and your outstanding achievements. Well done!

Keep up the great work, Emily! We can’t wait to see what’s next!

Gymnastics Competition Highlights

This week, Sophie, Mia, Emily and Lyla took part in a thrilling competition, showcasing their hard work and skill. This was the County Final event that the girls qualified for earlier in the year. The event began with a 10-minute warm-up, during which the girls practiced their routines and prepared for the challenges ahead.

The main event was divided into three exciting sections, each testing the gymnasts' abilities in different areas:

  1. Floor Routine: Each gymnast performed their carefully prepared routine, demonstrating grace, strength, and precision.
  2. Working Together Session: For this section, the girls had to think on their feet. They didn’t have a plan ahead of time, so they were given a short amount of time to create a group choreography on the spot. It was a true test of teamwork, creativity, and flexibility.
  3. Vault: The final section involved the vault. The girls had the opportunity to practice their run-through beforehand, and then each gymnast performed two vault attempts, which were scored by the judge.

While the scores were being tallied, the girls had the exciting opportunity to watch a competitive gymnast from the Great British squad, adding an inspiring moment to the competition. The event then ended with a medal ceremony, where some of our girls were recognised for their outstanding performances. A special mention goes to Mia who won first place!

We are incredibly proud of all the girls for their hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship throughout the competition. Congratulations to everyone who participated, and a special well done to those who received medals!

Keep up the amazing work! We can’t wait to see what you achieve next!
