Rounders tournament July 2024

Our rounders club have been working hard building up our skills ready for the end of year rounders tournament. We went to Lewknor Primary School, and played against two schools in the local area. Our team did a wonderful job during the afternoon and we won the tournament! The team showed great sportsmanship throughout the afternoon.

What a super way to end our sporting events for the year! Well done team.

Sports day 2024

Year 5 friendly football match vs Chalgrove ⚽️

Well done to our Year 5’s for an impressive 7-1 win against Chalgrove on Thursday 27th June. Great teamwork!

Henley Football Tournament 2024

A huge well done to our year 3/4 girls team and year 6 boys team for taking part in the Henley football tournament on Thursday 20th June. It was a fantastic day and, as always, the children represented Watlington perfectly. The girls finished 6th in their age group with a super goal from Wren and the boys finished a very respectable 2nd! Well done everyone! 🥳

Cross Country 2024

This year's cross country was a huge success! There was a buzz in the air and a very positive attitude from the whole school. A huge congratulations to our winners, and a well done to everyone for taking part! Thank you to the sports captains for their help, to the Icknield students for their support and to Miss Harman for organising.

"On Friday 7th June, everyone from reception to Year 6 participated in a cross country event. Years 1 - 6 raced around Watlington Primary School and Icknield, racing to see who would come through the red gate first. Everyone cheered on the runners, especially when the little Hedgehogs completed their race around the WPS paddock. We had lots of amazing Icknield students helping us and supporting us by leading the races and cheering us on. At the end, there were medals for each year group for the fastest boy, girl and, most importantly, best sportsmanship. We thank all the staff at Watlington Primary School who helped. We give a huge thanks to Miss Harman who organised this event and set it all up. We all had an amazing time and really enjoyed it.

From the Year 5/6 Sports Captains"

Key Stage One Athletics

On Monday 20th May, we took an enthusiastic team of 10 Year 1 and Year 2 children to an athletics tournament at Chalgrove school. The children did a wonderful job representing Watlington, by listening and demonstrating skill and sportsmanship in every activity. The children’s favourite was most definitely ‘Hungry Hippos’, where they beat the record for the number of times they completed it. The children ended the morning with some running races, which they all performed in amazingly, but more importantly all cheered on the other children with great gusto too. The children came joint top with 2 other schools, and rightly so, were very proud of themselves. Thank you to the Year 6 children at Chalgrove for running such a fun event!

Well done for showing our school values at this sporting event!

Tag Rugby

A huge well done to our Year 3 & 4 tag rugby team who took part in the tournament on Wednesday. We won 5 out of 6 of our matches! Amazing work everyone!

A huge thank you to Mark Newman for coming in and giving our Year 3 & 4 tag rugby team a great training session ahead of their tournament. 😃

Sports Hall Athletics

On Monday 26th February, we participated in a Sports Hall Athletics competition at Icknield School. Initially, we tied first place on points meaning the organisers had to look at how many races we had won compared to the other school. Unfortunately, we hadn't quite won as many races meaning we came away with a very respectable second place out of the five schools that took part.

Well done team Watlington! Fantastic effort.

Netball Tournament

On Monday 29th January, our netball club took part in an inter-schools tournament hosted by Icknield. We came a very respectable second out of the four schools that took part. I am so proud of the team for showing true resilience. Well done Watlington!

Tag Rugby Tournament

On Monday 13th November, we attended a tag rugby tournament with three other local schools. Watlington showed true sportsmanship at this event and we WON the whole tournament! We are so proud of you all. Go team Watlington!

First sports tournament of the new academic year!

On Monday 9th October, Watlington hosted the first inter-schools tournament of the new academic year. We took part in a football tournament with three other local schools: Chalgrove, RAF Benson and Lewknor. Watlington came 2nd place overall. Well done to everyone who played, what a great start!

Unfortunately, the mandatory goal picture was forgotten... but enjoy a few snaps of us in action below!
