CCA Year 7 and 8 crowned Stafford and Stone District Champions March 2019For the first time in the school’s history Christ Church Academy have been crowned netball district champions in both Year 7 and Year 8 age groups. The Year 7 team were the first to experience success. To reach the final CCA enjoyed victories over Penkridge Middle, Western Road High, St Dominics Brewood and Walton High. The team conceded just 1 goal in this preliminary stage. After qualifying ahead of Stafford Grammar School they went onto play Blessed William Howard in a closely contested final that saw CCA the victors 5-3. Not to be outdone by their younger training partners the year 8 netball team have also claimed the district crown. CCA progressed to the semi-final after finishing 2nd place in their group following victories over Stafford Grammar B, Weston Road and St Dominics Stone. At full time C of the Semi-final CCA were drawing 3-3 with Stafford Grammar A meaning the game moved to ‘Golden goal’. In a flurry of fast passing CCA managed to edge out grammar to progress to the final, where their convincing performance led to a 5-3 win over Walton High.

KS3 Girls Football District ChampionsNovember 2016Girls from both year 7 and 8 took part in the district 7 aside football tournament at Rowley Park. With 8 other high schools taking part it was going to be a tough evening’s work if they wanted to win. In the group stages we won one game and draw the other two, leaving us nervously waiting to see if we had qualified for the finals. Our group was very tight and we managed to get through into the finals on goal difference. In the finals we played Stafford Manor High who are a very good team. We put in a great team performance to win 2-0. Stand out performances came from the twins and Beth. A great achievement for the whole team and a new experience for some of the girls that have ever played competitive football before. We now qualify for the county tournament at the home of English football, St Georges Park.

Year 8 Staffs Rugby TournamentOctober 2016The Year 8 boys had a Staffordshire rugby tournament at Lichfield Rugby Club on Friday 14th October. Many of the boys were playing their first ever rugby games at the event. We had a tough draw in the group and closely lost matches to Wednesfield and Cardinal Griffin, before looking home and dry against Oldfields Middle School, only for them to score and scrape a draw with the last play of the game. This put us in to the Pool competition where we won all of our afternoon games, scoring some scintillating tries. Christ Church Academy were proud to be announced winners of this pool at the end of the day. All 15 players on the day were outstanding in their effort and attitude. The quality of the rugby played greatly improved as the day progressed. A special mention must go to Oliver who, playing rugby for the first time ever, scored six tries in the competition. Hopefully now that one or two have 'got the bug' and have seen what competitive rugby is all about, this side can go from strength to strength on the back of this super day! |

Key Stage 2 Tag Rugby Runners UpOctober 2016On Wednesday 12th October we took part in a year 5 and 6 mixed rugby tournament at Stafford Manor High School. Throughout the group stages we performed extremely well, winning all of our three games. Standout performances came from Harrison Lovatt (year 6), Harry Lockett (year 6), Jack Darlington (year 5) and Ben Sharp (year 5). As I team we defended well and worked as a team throughout. We played Cooper Perry Primary School in the semi-finals and won by 3 trys to their 2. That meant that we were into the finals, playing Stafford Prep who we had previously beaten in the group stages. Stafford got off to a flying start scoring 3 trys in 3 minutes putting us on the back foot. We worked hard to get back into the game by scoring 2 trys but unfortunately ran out of time. We still qualify for the county event in the summer which will be held at Keele University. Well done to everybody that was involved. |
Congratulations!Year 8 Boys Rugby TeamDespite a heroic performance, the Year 8 boy’s rugby team could not repeat their 2015 County Cup Final success over rivals Newcastle-under-Lyme High School. Following resounding wins in each round, the team entered the final in a confident mood having beaten Newcastle-under-Lyme to lift the Year 7 crown in 2015. Pupils battled bravely but unfortunately Newcastle took full advantage of all opportunities to win the game. |
