Jessica M, Jade B, Katie O, Faye S, Mia-Grace C, Holly L, Marnie D played in the South Ribble Netball League play-offs on Tuesday 16th April and started the night with a brilliant win against Balshaws High School. This progressed them into the final against All Hallows and the PGHS team came away as runners-up. This means that they achieved 2nd place in the 2023-24 Y9 South Ribble Netball League, which is a fantastic achievement. Well done, girls!

In celebration of International Women’s Day, Preston North End invited our Year 8 footballers to attend a match at Deepdale Stadium vs Stoke City. The home team didn’t quite manage to pull off the win but our students enjoyed cheering on Jess and Daisy as they stood in the Guard of Honour and then everyone took penalty kicks on the pitch at home time. This was a proud moment for Mrs Finnigen and the PE department and we have no doubt that you will go on to take many a shot at goals (or save them) on Championship and Premier League pitches in the future! Well done, girls for your commitment to football at PGHS this year and a big thank you to your parents for their support. A brilliant day out had by all!

We are so proud of the ambition and resilience that the team displayed but most importantly, their team work and sportsmanship towards each other and their opponents. Well done, girls!
