After-School Clubs and
Competitive Sporting Achievements
We have had another successful year of sporting achievements at
school and we also have had a huge array of different sporting
activities running after school.
Football
Our Year 5/6 team have had another good season. We made it through
to the final of the Chairman’s Trophy, which was played at the
Nottingham Forest Academy Ground. We finished 3rd in the league.
We also had very good performances in the League and at the
Karnival tournament.
Our Year 4/5 football team made an impressive impact to the Nottingham
City under 10’s League. We made it through our qualifying group to the
Nottingham city indoor 6-a-side finals, where we finally finished in
3rd place.

won every tournament they entered and went through the entire season

Olympics Team
We took 24 children in years 4 and 5 (12 boys and 12 girls) to the fantastic
multi-sports ‘Clifton Olympics’ tournament in June against six other schools
from across Clifton. All the children took part in tag-rugby, athletics and
football matches in 3 teams of 8. We had a great day and narrowly won the
tournament, beating Dovecote school by just 1 point!
We then went on to represent Clifton at the City Olympics. This was much
tougher, but the children performed with immense effort and skill. We
didn’t win the day but held our heads high with some terrific performances,
with particular success in the rugby events.
Basketball
Our basketball team have worked really hard this season. Teamwork and
technical ability have been at the ‘core’ of our coaching, which have
bought us great success. Our Monday night club was again very popular
and lasted throughout the autumn term.
Cricket
We have put on a fantastic array of cricketing opportunities for our
children this year. Our boys’ and girls’ cricket teams have played in
the Nottingham City Cup tournaments this year. We took part in a
cricket World Record attempt at Colwick Park. We were visited by
international cricketers for the ‘Chance to Shine’ project. We also
had over 150 children taking part in our Key Stage 2 inter-school
cricket competition and skills’ day.
Dance
We entered the Clifton Dance Festival in June. A group of Year 3
children performed really well and did the school and themselves proud.
Gymnastics
A group of our year 3, 4, 5 and 6 children took part in the Clifton
gymnastics festival. The children competed excellently and some of
them even won their events and sections!
A group of our Key Stage 1 children also took part in a gymnastics
festival, where 3 of our girls and 2 of our boys were talent
spotted by the Nottinghamshire gymnastics association.
KS1 Sports Club
This club has been running throughout the autumn and summer terms
and remains an extremely popular club. The children have been improving
their skills and this has transferred into some of our PE lessons.
Multi-Skills Events
20 children from year 3 and 20 children from year 4 competed in an
exciting multi-skills festival. The kids performed really well.
Skating
Class 6 have been skating and animating this term. A number of
our year 5 children have also been learning to skate through the
‘Eduskate’ project.
Notts County
A very successful and popular club with our year 3 and 4 children.
The kids have been learning new skills in a variety of sports,
with tuition from the Notts County training team.
Martial Arts
The girls have been training hard and are developing some excellent
skills. During this autumn term club, the girls have improved their skills,
competence with the routines and their confidence levels. After watching
some of their sessions, I would definitely say that you don’t mess
with the Milford girls!
Hockey
A large group of our year 5 and 6 children went to see the world
hockey championships at Highfields. They watched two matches;
Germany V New Zealand and England V China.
Staff and Pupils
We are fortunate enough to have some wonderful members of staff at
our school who have given up huge amounts of their own free time (without pay)
to arrange and run a fantastic selection of after school clubs this year.
Thank you to all those members of staff who have given up their time to
deliver after-school activities this year, the children have benefited
tremendously from your input.
Finally, and most importantly, a huge thank you to all the wonderful
children who have contributed to the amazing success in sporting
achievements at Milford this year. You are an incredibly talented team!
