Hosted on the school's outdoor netball courts, the festival welcomed teams from Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, St Michael’s Catholic Academy and Our Lady and St Bede Catholic Academy. Throughout the afternoon, pupils showcased impressive netball skills, resilience and outstanding sportsmanship in a series of fast-paced matches played under the Stinger Netball format. With every team demonstrating great effort and enthusiasm, the standard of play was exceptionally high. However, it was Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School who emerged as worthy champions, remaining undefeated throughout the tournament. Their excellent teamwork, determination and skill saw them crowned BHCET East Primary Netball Champions, while also earning the accolade of Team of the Tournament. The festival was designed to give pupils the opportunity to develop both their confidence and understanding of the game, with players rotating positions and embracing new challenges on court. The spirit in which the competition was played was a credit to every pupil involved. Special congratulations go to Mason and Nematallah, who were presented with the BHCET Virtues Award. Both pupils demonstrated exceptional resilience, self-belief and respect throughout the event and were fantastic ambassadors for their schools and the values that underpin the Trust. A huge thank you must also go to The English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form for hosting the festival, and to the school's Sports Leaders whose compassion, confidence and leadership helped make the event such a success. Their enthusiasm and encouragement ensured every participant felt supported and had the opportunity to shine. The festival concluded with a presentation ceremony, where certificates and winners' medals were awarded to celebrate the achievements of all those involved. We are incredibly proud of every pupil who took part in this memorable inaugural event and look forward to welcoming schools back together for the BHCET East Primary Football Festival in the Summer Term.
