The children at Wren’s Nest enjoy representing their school in numerous sporting events. They work hard to achieve their best and thoroughly enjoy taking part as well as contributing towards our Platinum Sports Award.
Our Sports Leaders
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!
Boccia
Yesterday 10 children from Shooting Stars represented Wren’s Nest at a Boccia competition. They demonstrated fantastic teamwork, determination and sportsmanship throughout the event. Kobi, the team captain, did a brilliant job at leading and supporting his team. They cheered each other on through all rounds up to the final, where they achieved second place!
Miss Bridge and the rest of Wren’s Nest are incredibly proud of you, not only for coming second, but also for how polite and supportive you were towards children from other schools at the event. Well done Shooting Stars! ⭐️
