• Spurs Ladies Visit School

  Thu 09 Feb 2017 Adam & Eddie ( Year 6 )

  On the 9^th February,  two footballers from the Tottenham Hotspur Ladies team, Shakira Whaite and Kelly Smith, along with their coach Ben Hunter, paid a visit to the school.

  The trio visited primarily to celebrate the school's Girls' U11's team success this season that has seen the team reach the final of the Waltham Forest phase of the London Youth Games. In a thrilling final, the Chingford team were beaten  3-0 by St Joseph's.

  Shakira and Kelly  answered some of the children’s questions in an interesting assembly. Furthermore, they presented some of the school footballers with certificates. Two children (Jack and Maisy from Year 6) were also lucky enough to receive a Tottenham kit from the players in recognition of their efforts and attitude this season.

  Many thoughtful questions were asked by the pupils and were mainly based on a woman’s perspective on football. Queries were submitted on everything from match day attendances at women's football matches to the training methods used for these skilful players.

  We found out that whilst women’s football is very similar to the men’s game, there are major differences when it comes to money - the main one being that men earn far more money than women footballers - many of whom have to work part time to support themselves.

  Year 6 pupil and member of the U11's team, Ria commented, "I really enjoyed the assembly as it was inspiring for me to meet some female footballers in the flesh."

• We've Done It Again!

  Sun 29 Jan 2017

  For the third year in a row, the school's  boys' 6 a-side football team have qualified  for a tournament where the winning school gets to represent Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League U11's School Tournament which this season will be held at Stamford Bridge - home of Chelsea.

   

  Last season our team won the competition to represent Spurs and sensationally managed  to  get to the semi-final of the Premier League tournament staged at Goodison Park, home of Everton FC.

   

  This year's team earned their wonderful opportunity after finishing second in a regional round robin competition held at 'Goals'.

   

  This season's success means that the boys will take on teams from other North London Boroughs at Spurs' prestigious training ground to battle out who will represent the club in the 2017 finals.

   

  Team coach, Michael Winspear, was full of praise for the players commenting, "It's a great achievement for the school to qualify for the latter stage of this competition for the third year in a row. Having the chance  to play at Spurs' £30 million  state of the art training ground will be a tremendous experience for the players. To get to represent Spurs at Chelsea's ground in a Premier League tournament involving 19 other top flight sides would be a dream come true."
