In another amazing sporting feat, the tournament teams of Midhurst C of E Primary School triumphed to win the Rother Valley Trophy for a fourth time in a row.

This academic year for each of the sporting tournaments they have finished in the following places:

⚽ Football: 2nd

🏑 Hockey: 1st

All the children who played in any of the tournaments proudly display the trophy.

🎽 Indoor Athletics: 1st

🏃‍♀️ Cross-Country: 2nd

⛹️ Netball: 1st

🏏 Cricket: Joint 5th

With all of these results, they finished ahead on points from their nearest rivals by quite a margin, with Harting, Hollycombe and Camelsdale all finishing further back in 2nd and 3rd.

Head of PE, Mrs. Emily Alden said, “I have been so pleased by the attitude of our children at MPS. We teach them to be competitive, tenacious but always sporting and they have always exhibited these values in all the tournaments we have attended. We are a very proud staff team today!”

More trophies for the collection at MPS has led Assistant Headteacher, Scott Ind, to quip that they will need to buy a bigger and better trophy cabinet! He also told us, “This year we have already triumphed with the hockey, athletics and netball shield, as well winning a cross-county girls’ football tournament, which we were all justifiably delighted by. We look forward to going for the quintuple next year!”

At MPS, we are constantly aiming to improve our sporting and extra-curricular offer. We welcome visitors to the school and are always happy to show people around our happy, family-focussed and thriving school.
