South Ribble Cross Country Championships

On Saturday 18th November, we took 4 girls to the South Ribble Cross Country Championships across the muddy fields of Hutton Grammar School! Holly L (Y9) finished in 3rd place overall, Marianna N (Y9) placed 10th and Evie R finished with great determination over a tough course! Izzy E (Y7) finished 11th in her age group and deserves special commendation for finishing her race and doubling back straight away to cheer her friends on who were still running! Well done, girls!

Year 7 South Ribble Football Champions!

On Thursday 9th November, our Year 7 Football team travelled to Leyland St Mary’s High School to participate in the Year 7 Girls Football Competition. 

They played 6 games, won 4, drew 2 and didn’t concede a goal! 

We were so impressed with their efforts, enthusiasm, skill and determination on a very cold and wet November evening. They finished as winners – South Ribble Champions! A fantastic team effort from our PGHS lionesses! Well done to all our players – Seren, Hannah, Lani, Ellouise-May, Bella, Ella, Darcey, Lily and Tess. Shout-out to our goal scorers – Lani, Bella and Ellouise-May.

Cheerdance Club

On Wednesday 18th October, we are launching the start of a new Cheer Dance Club which is open to Year 7 and Year 8 students on a Wednesday lunch time in the Dance Studio. The club will be run by our GCSE Dance students where they will be working on a cheer dance for our Christmas show. Don’t miss out! Please ensure you collect an early lunch pass from the PE office on Wednesday at break time so you can get your lunch before the club starts at 12:45pm. We can’t wait to see you there.

Netball Success

Not only are our students performing at high levels in school, they are also experiencing fantastic success in the sporting world outside of school. Sophie H-S in Year 7 has just been selected to represent Greater Manchester County Netball at Under 13s level. This is a real honour as Sophie is currently an U12 which means she has been selected for the age group higher than her age. The dedication and commitment you have shown to your sport, Sophie is exceptional and here at PGHS, we are very proud of you. We can’t wait to see you representing PGHS in our netball team once the matches kick off after October half term. Well done!

Year 8 Netball teams

I had the pleasure of taking the Year 8 Netball teams to Walton-le-Dale High School on Tuesday 10th October to play a league fixture. The girls conducted themselves with dignity and ambition and played really well together as a team. Our passes were accurate through the court, the defenders performed lots of interceptions and our shooters were on fire with their percentage of shots scored. As a result, the A team beat Walton-Le-Dale high school 34-0 and the B team beat them 28-0. A performance of hard work and dedication to their team was put in by every member. Well done, girls!

South Ribble Netball Leagues

In South Ribble this year, we have moved to an online league system so students and parents can check the position of each team in the leagues at any point. Please click the league below to see the current standings so far:
