In an amazing achievement, the Y7/8 9-a-side girls football team from St Michael's Middle School won the English Schools Football Association (ESFA) Small Schools National Cup Competition! The 14 strong squad travelled to The Hawthorns Stadium in Birmingham (home to Championship team West Bromwich Albion) to play the final against Repton Preparatory School from Derby. In a highly competitive and entertaining match, St. Michael's won 3-1.

The team came to visit us this week to tell us about their experience and show us their medals and trophy. It was very inspiring for our children to see such talented and dedicated young athletes in person. This gave us all a powerful example of what passion, teamwork and perseverance can achieve.
