Student Report by George Battenbough

In the first game of the season Cardinal Wiseman took on Bishop Walsh away and came back with a 3-0 victory.

Cardinal started the game positively, keeping possession and playing good attacking football.

George Battenbough opened the scoring with a powerful solo goal; a pile-driver after less than 15 minutes from outside the box. Moments later Callum Brookes split the home defence with a through ball to Ben Campbell but the shot was straight at the keeper.

Ryan Best teed up with Ben Campbell to deliver a beautiful ball to Jamie Capenhurst which was volleyed into the net.

After a change of ends Cardinal were still dominating possession when Ryan Best picked up the ball 20 yards out, beat his man and finessed it beyond the keeper. He dedicated his goal to Miss Nuttall’s twins, with a baby celebration. Cardinal had many chances to score more but did not capitalise on their opportunities.

Man of the Match- Jamie Capenhurst

Sixth Form News!

19th September 2014S Burley

I would like to start with some fantastic news – we have been given official permission by the Archdiocese of Birmingham to open a sixth form! We are thrilled and delighted and will now begin the process of planning ahead of opening in September 2015. This is a huge step forward for our school and shows the high regard we are held in by the church and the local authority.

 

Our pupils have already been consulted on how they would like their sixth form to look and the sort of curriculum that we will offer. This will continue in the days ahead along with planning for a sixth form open evening in November. Parents of pupils in Year 11 are encouraged to discuss this with their children as they begin to consider what they want to do after Year 11.
