Our Sports Leaders
Boccia
On Tuesday 23rd June, five children from Shooting Stars represented Wrens Nest at the Black Country Boccia Finals! They played against children from both primary and secondary schools and took part with confidence, enthusiasm, and determination. Although they did not get through to the final round this time, Miss Bridge is very proud of all their hard work! The children represented our school brilliantly. After each match, they shook hands with their opponents and congratulated them, showing kindness, respect, and brilliant sportsmanship! Their positive attitude and great behaviour made everyone proud. Well done to all five children on this amazing achievement – we are very proud of you!
Girls’ Football
Dell Stadium, Tuesday 23rd June
Wren’s Nest took part in the Dudley Schools Girls’ Football Finals on a very hot Tuesday morning at the Dell Stadium, producing a series of impressive performances despite having only the bare minimum of six players—meaning every girl played every minute of every match.
They started strongly with a hard-fought 1–0 win over Straits, showing great determination and teamwork. In their second match against Withymoor, the girls demonstrated real resilience, with Rose scoring a spectacular last-minute equaliser to secure a 1–1 draw.
Unluckily, Wren’s Nest finished second in their group on goal difference and just missed out on a place in the final—harsh given their performances.
The team stayed on for friendlies and continued their excellent form, beating both Straits and Maidenbridge to end the morning on a high.
Considering the heat and lack of substitutes, the girls were outstanding throughout and represented Wren’s Nest brilliantly—an excellent effort all round.
Celebrations!
Children from Wren’s Nest took part in an athletics competition and delivered an outstanding performance, finishing second overall out of 345 schools across the Black Country. The team showed great determination, teamwork, and sporting ability throughout the event, achieving an impressive result against strong competition. As a well-deserved treat for their hard work and success, they were rewarded with a McFlurry ice cream. Well done to the whole team for a fantastic achievement.
Dudley Gymnastics Final
On Thursday 4th June, the Wren’s Nest Gymnastics Team proudly represented the school at the Dudley Gymnastics Finals.
Two teams, each consisting of five gymnasts, competed against some of the strongest gymnasts in Dudley. Each gymnast performed both a floor routine and a vault routine, demonstrating their skill, determination and hard work.
The competition was extremely tough, with a very high standard of performance throughout the event. All of our gymnasts rose to the challenge and represented Wren’s Nest with excellent sportsmanship and enthusiasm.
We are delighted to announce that Iyanna achieved a bronze medal for her outstanding floor routine performance. This is a fantastic individual achievement and reflects her dedication and commitment to gymnastics.
There was also great success in the team competition. Wren’s Nest A Team achieved an impressive overall team score, earning second place, while Wren’s Nest B Team secured third place overall.
We are incredibly proud of all the gymnasts who took part. Their hard work, resilience and teamwork were evident throughout the competition and they should all be proud of their achievements.
Congratulations to everyone involved on a fantastic day of gymnastics and for representing Wren’s Nest so brilliantly!
Athletics Final
On Monday 1st June, the Wren’s Nest Primary Athletics Team attended the Indoor Athletics Final after successfully qualifying through the Dudley tournament.
We knew that competing against the very best schools in the Black Country would be a tough challenge, but thanks to the team’s hard work, dedication and commitment to training, we were ready to give it our all.
Competing against nine other schools, the standard of talent on display was incredible and we had no idea where we would finish. As the results were announced, we were hoping for a place in the top five, knowing how strong the competition had been.
We are delighted to announce that, for the fourth consecutive year, Wren’s Nest Primary finished in 2nd place, making us the second-best athletics team in the Black Country.
Every member of the team was outstanding and played an important role in achieving this fantastic result. We are incredibly proud of their effort, teamwork and determination throughout the competition.
Congratulations to all of our athletes on an amazing achievement!
Gymnastics
We are delighted to share that Wren’s Nest Primary School recently took part in a gymnastics competition held at Dudley Gymnastics Club.
Ten very talented girls represented the school, forming two teams. They demonstrated exceptional commitment in the lead-up to the event, showing real dedication and focus throughout their training.
On the day of the competition, their hard work truly paid off. The judges made special mention of the teams’ control and grace, highlighting how our gymnasts performed with precision and composure rather than rushing their routines. This was a fantastic recognition of their discipline and attention to detail.
We are incredibly proud to announce some outstanding results. Wren’s Nest A team achieved 1st place overall, while Wren’s Nest B team secured an impressive 2nd place. In addition, Rose placed 3rd overall out of all the gymnasts competing — a phenomenal achievement.
The girls also looked fantastic in their leotards, performing with confidence and pride. Their talent shone throughout every routine, and they represented the school brilliantly both in performance and attitude.
We are extremely proud of all the participants for their effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Well done to everyone involved!
Netball
On 16th April, our Year 6 Netball team proudly represented Wren’s Nest in a closely contested match against Bramford Primary School, finishing in an exciting 4–4 draw. The children showed exceptional teamwork throughout, communicating brilliantly and supporting one another in every quarter. Their resilience was clear, as they kept their focus and determination even when the score was tight. Alex and Iyanna each scored a point, while Amarni contributed two excellent goals. It was a fantastic performance that reflected both their hard work and the positive spirit of Wren’s Nest.
Mixed Football
On Thursday, the Wren’s Nest mixed team had a fantastic result in the Westwood trophy against Rufford Primary School. We started very brightly and were awarded a penalty early on with Theo calmly slotting it into the bottom corner. Rufford fought back and equalised a few minutes later but then Wren’s Nest found another gear and couldn’t stop scoring! It was 3-1 by half time and 6-1 by the end of the match. Theo scored a hat trick, Kye scored twice and Molly scored the pick of the bunch with a great shot from long range that went in off the near post. Goalkeeper Joe and the rest of the defence put in a great amount of effort to only concede one goal. The whole team should feel very proud of themselves, and we look forward to the next round this Thursday against Milking Bank!
Cross Country
The Wren’s Nest Cross Country team delivered an outstanding performance at the recent competition held at Summerhill High School. Since November, the team has shown remarkable commitment, putting in hours of dedicated training in all conditions—and their hard work truly paid off.
Every runner gave their absolute best, showing determination, resilience, and fantastic team spirit throughout. The progress made over months of training was clear to see, and all the children should feel incredibly proud of their efforts.
A special mention goes to Tom, who finished in an impressive 57th place and was the first boy from the team to cross the line. Molly also delivered a superb performance, finishing in 10th place overall—an excellent achievement.
A particularly historic highlight of the day was the girls’ team result. For the first time in at least 20 years, the girls team secured an incredible 2nd place overall—an achievement that reflects their hard work, dedication, and teamwork.
Both Mrs Abbiss and Mrs Share were delighted to support the team and were extremely pleased to witness such strong performances from all the runners.
Well done to everyone involved—this is a result to remember!
Girls Football
The girls did amazingly, first game, had a tough match against milking bank and narrowly lost 1-0 to a late goal. We fought back with a solid 2-1 win against St Joseph’s and then the highlight was a stunning 5-0 win over Queen Vic to finish. Molly and Lola scored 3 goals each across the 3 matches and Rose chipped in with an absolute rocket in the top bins in the final game! Honourable mention to Darcie P for going in goal in the last game and keeping us in it in the early stages with some fantastic saves. All of the girls did fantastic, super proud of them and 2 wins out of 3 has put us in a great position to push towards making the finals. We play the rest of our games in 2 weeks time. Well done, everyone!
