Congratulations to our new Tag Rugby team who earned a place in the North Shropshire finals yesterday by finishing 2nd place in the local area competition! The team or Year 5 and 6’s have worked hard to develop their skills to a competitive level; well done to all of you. The Level 2 fixture will take place later in the autumn term.

Our amazing children are at it again! Today 20 of our children from Years 4, 5 and 6 attended the local schools athletics competition at Bomere Heath Primary School. They had lots of success in individual races including skipping, egg and spoon, sack and potato race, then went on to win two impressive shields for winning the Girls Relay and Boys Relay. Well done to all the children, a fantastic way to complete our sporting calendar!

Well done to our superb rounders team who won silver medals at the North Shropshire Rounders Finals this week! Having won the Corbet Area competition, the team went to the Grove School at Market Drayton where they won five tough matches in succession to reach the final.

They played the final against Woore Primary School who won by just 1 and a half rounders. Our team were superb, showing excellent skills for primary age.   Congratulations to Will, Alfie, Caitlyn, Cara, Emily, Lexie, Max, Will, Oli, Ellie, Billy and Darran – what a team!

Also many thanks to Mollie Croxon, the North Shropshire School Games Organiser, for such a great year of events.

Congratulations to our Year 5 & 6 Dodgeball team who competed in the North Shropshire Championships today and finished in 2nd position, winning some shiny silver medals!

The team played five fast and furious matches and showed the spirit of the School Games throughout; Longlands Primary of Market Drayton went through as deserving winners but our children excelled. A special mention to Alfie, Will, Caitlyn and Lexie who were all recognised and given certificates by teachers from other schools for their sportsmanship, whilst Billy was nominated by Ruyton staff as overall Dodgeballer of the Day!

Congratulations to Will, Max, Billy, Alfie, Oli, Ellie, Caitlyn and Lexie. We’re as proud as ever – what a team! Miss Whit 🙂

It’s a very proud day at Ruyton today as we celebrate the achievements of our U11 Football Team 2017-18, who are our third team in three years to make the Shropshire Schools Finals. The squad of 8 children from Year 4, 5 and 6 finished runners-up after a nail-biting match against Longden Primary (a Year 6 team) with a 5-3 result.

Team Captain Will T excelled with his football skills, scoring two supreme goals  whilst Billy finished a great corner and found the back of the net. Jack H maintained focus and determination in goal – the pressure was on and Jack worked well with his dream-team of Max and Rory in defence. Will G, Oli and Alfie all worked hard in midfield, creating opportunities and keeping up the energy to constantly tackle Longden.

We couldn’t be prouder of the boys for the effort, sportsmanship and determination they showed on the day. A HUGE thank you to the parents and families who had their own work-out on the sideline too – Ruyton cheers took over TNS Stadium!

Thank you for such a fantastic day – Miss Whit 🙂
