On Friday 1st March, Archie, Louis and Malakai in Year 6 travelled to Woodlands to take part in an Archery and Boccia festival with Mrs Adams and Mrs Bruck. The day incorporated hours of sport where the boys had to stay focussed at all times and apply tactics to win their games. Now, not many […]
Finally, it’s here! After what seems like an age, the Mini Pitch was handed over to school last week so the children could start benefitting from the fantastic facility. The initial application was submitted in September 2017 and over a year later, the project was complete! Now, Park Hill is 1 of 7 schools nationally […]
On Friday 15th February, 8 children from Year 6 were selected to compete in a rowing competition on behalf of Park Hill. (Not on a boat!) A few weeks ago, we collected a rowing machine for Year 6 to practise with throughout the week at lunch times and break times to see who could row […]
On Friday morning, Mrs Mould and 14 Year 4 pupils braved the cold to celebrate the Engage! Rugby Values Programme they had participated in last term.

On Thursday afternoon, Mrs O’Neill accompanied 7 keen gymnasts from Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 to a KS1 School Games competition held at Tribe Dance, Cheer and Fitness on Cromwell St. Luckily, the girls were well prepared in their gymnastics lessons by Nikki from Flyte gymnastics, who even came back into school on Wednesday […]
This week has been very busy with sports events and fixtures! On Monday, a squad of Year 5 children traveled to Moseley Primary to play in a hockey match. A fantastic demonstration of resilience and determination as they went a few goals behind early on, but they came right back into the game! All the […]

We were very lucky to avoid the rain today as a team of Year 5 children, who were selected following their PE lessons, to play a hockey match against Templars Primary School today. Over the last half term, they have practised ball control, dribbling, passing and tactics within the game and they did a fantastic […]
This evening’s staff training was hosted by Tom & Shaun from Sky Blues in the Community! With the arrival of the Mini Pitch drawing nearer, we thought we better brush up on some of our football skills and some didn’t disappoint! All members off staff got stuck in and showed great flair with the ball […]
Congratulations to this sports-mad young man, who has been chosen for the Midlands ice hockey team!

Today Netballers in year 5 and 6 were lucky enough to go on a very special trip! Ruby, Carmen and Lauren would like to tell you about what they got up to: On the 15th of November we went to the Ricoh arena to get a VIP netball experience. We received some coaching from the Wasp’s […]
Year 4 have been having a great time learning Tag Rugby every Thursday. This week, we learned how to effectively pass the ball while running, and started playing mini games.
During week 2 of the programme Jake and Jack from the Sky Blue in the Community-Move and Learn project were working with 5D to develop ball skills and agility. The children played handball and had lots of fun. The Green v Red game was a close game 0-1 with Jack defending well for the Reds […]
It’s bonfire night! What’s the only thing that can make it better?! FOOTBALL! As always, Park Hill knew it would be a competitive match against Finham and we weren’t surprised. Some children stepped in to make their debut for the school and we saw some fantastic individual performances as a result! Nathan Hibberd very unlucky […]
In the first round of the Harry Shaw Cup, Park Hill travelled away to a strong Spon Gate side who previously went very far in a national competition! As we arrived, some of the children were surprised at the size of the pitch with it being less than half the size of ours! After a […]
On Monday 29th, a group of Year 6 children took part in the second School Games event of the year – the Biathlon! We left school at 3:00pm to get to the Xcel Leisure Centre and complete a 400m run followed by a 25m swim. All six were extremely keen to get going and charged […]
What a fantastic start to the new academic year! Mr Freeman and Mr Hammond conducted trials for the school football team and selected 14 children to train on Mondays after school as part of the squad. The quality of football on show during the trials was fantastic and all of the children who trialed should […]
What a great three days we have had in our first week of the new term. The teachers had some exciting training Monday and Tuesday, and we eagerly awaited Wednesday, when the children came. The term has started brilliantly, and we cannot wait for the year ahead!
