• C of E's Under 11 Boys Football Team

  Tue 09 Feb 2016

  Chingford C of E’s  Under 11’s boys’ 6 a-side football team have qualified for a prestigious Premier League tournament following a sensational performance at Tottenham Hotspur’s  Training Centre on  5^th February.

   

  Having previously qualified to represent Waltham Forest in the finals of the Tottenham Hotspur U11’s tournament, C of E found themselves up against schools from the London Boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey with the prize at stake being the chance to represent Spurs in a national tournament involving all 20 Premier League clubs.

   

  C of E stormed through the league stage of the competition winning all six of their games allowing them to meet St Ignatius School from Haringey in the semi final.  In a thrilling match Chingford went through to the final following a penalty shoot-out thanks largely to the heroics of goal keeper, George Murray Jones.

   

  The final against Woodcroft Primary from Barnet was a close affair but a late Derin Mehmet goal separated the two sides meaning C of E will now go on to represent Tottenham Hotspur in the annual Premier League Under 11’s tournament which takes places at Everton’s Goodison Park ground on 17^th May.

   

  Delighted Deputy Headteacher, Ian Osborne, who coaches the team commented,  “This is a wonderful achievement for the team. To earn the opportunity to play at a top Premier League team’s ground in a nationally acclaimed tournament is a dream come true for the boys.”

  C of E Football Boys' A Team Report 2015-16

   

  By Elliott Smith & Jorja Pollard of class 5B

   

  ‘It has been a great season so far,’ says Mr Osborne, head coach of the Chingford C of E school football team. With the team doing very well in a number of tournaments, and with a major competition next week at Tottenham Hotspur’s impressive training ground, there’s much to look forward to.

   

  Mr Osborne added, ‘We want to represent the borough at Crystal Palace in the London Youth Games and being that we have good players, we have every chance!’

   

  ‘A highlight for me was when David Harris scored 6 goals in consecutive matches; quite an achievement!’

   

  We also spoke to team captain, Jedd Coster. ‘Our greatest strength is our skill. But with more training, we can improve further.’

   

  Jedd added, ‘We are a bit nervous about the competition next Friday but still looking forward to it very much and I think we can get to the Semi-Finals at least!

   

  Mr Bloomfield, who helps Mr Osborne coach the team said, ‘I have seen this team improve dramatically during the season. At the beginning, they were a bit ramshackle, but now they are a well-oiled machine that is a match for anyone!

   

  ‘Whoever we play, I’m really confident of victory because we have great players in all positions. We are sound in defence and very creative when we push forward.’

• Leyton Orient 50/50 Day

  Tue 05 Jan 2016

  On Saturday 19^th December 26 pupils accompanied by family members attended Leyton Orient’s home game against Yeovil as part of the club’s 50/50 initiative. The idea behind the scheme is that the school sells reduced priced match day tickets on the club’s behalf with the proceeds been shared equally between the two organisations. The 50/50 scheme raised over £250 for school funds and provided  an enjoyable day for those who attended the game.

   

  Sixteen lucky pupils got to be flag bearers welcoming the teams on to the pitch before the game started. Year 6 pupil and flag bearer, Adam, described the experience as, “amazing and stunning!”  Year 5 pupil,  Oliver, was particularly impressed with the crowd’s reaction as the flag bearers walked around the pitch.  For another Year 5 pupil, William,  the best moment of the day was when the flag bearers waved the players onto the pitch.

   

  For the record the game ended 1-1.

   

  Look out for another 50/50 initiative later on in the season.
