Our KS1 pupils really enjoyed participating in the Athletics Festival at Temple Park.
On Tuesday 28th March 12 pupils from Y5 and Y6 competed at Lord Lawson of Beamish School in the Tyne and Wear county finals.
Our 2 teams competed with great focus and determination, wonderful team spirit and sportsmanship against the final 12 teams – with the aim of becoming Tyne and Wear County champions.
The children put into practice all of their training and advice to communicating with one another in order to produce some outstanding shots.
Our team 1, despite winning all of their games missed out on gold, due to the number of points they scored. However team 3 with 3 wins and 1 close defeat were crowned county champions!
This truly is phenomenal – in our first county finals winning and finishing as runners up is tremendous, an unforgettable achievement for our school and the pupils.
Bakhtawar Hayer (Captain) of Stanhope 3 hit a wonderfully precise shot to secure a 3-1 win for his team.
Well done to everyone that took part on the day and for all of your hard work and time when practising for many months before the competition (it was certainly worth every minute).
The teams consisting of: Stanhope 3 — Bakhtawar Hayer, Evie Harle and Tyler Thompson (GOLD) and Stanhope 1 — Kai Muir (Captain), Lucas Dunn and TJ Ridley (SILVER).
I’m bursting with pride for all of you.

Hockey T&W County Finals!
On Tuesday 28th March our Year 3&4 hockey team travelled to North Shields to take part in the Tyne & Wear School Games Finals. They played 4 matches in the group stage. We got off to a winning start beating Portobello (Gateshead) 4-0. However we next came up against eventual runners-up St. Michael’s (Sunderland) losing 5-0 and then against the eventual winners King’s Priory (North Tyneside) losing 3-0. We bounced back to draw 3-3 with Hotspur (Newcastle) meaning we missed out on progressing to the semi-finals.
In a play off for 7th place we defeated local rivals St. Bede’s South Shields (South Tyneside) 2-1. Overall each and everyone of the 6 players gave their all and I am very proud of the way you conducted yourselves and the progress you have made as hockey players in the past few weeks. Always showing exceptional sportsmanship throughout!
Jack Garlinge in particular was instrumental in many of our goals, demonstrating intricate skills and footwork! Aston Hall was a very calm and determined figure on the pitch at all times. Well Done also to Charlie Bates (Captain), Layla Kerrigan, Dominic Sorlie and Robbie Frame.
Fantastic Four get ‘call up’ to represent South Tyneside!
Four Stanhope children have been selected to represent South Tyneside against other Districts in the Sportshall Athletics County Finals on Saturday!
Congratulations to Bruno Neto, Maddison Fontaine, Francesca McFadyen & Charlie Bates.
What a wonderful achievement, considering they only began training for such events in September.
I can’t wait to see you perform. Best of luck!
Result Update

Well Done!

On Wednesday 1st March 12 pupils from Y5 and Y6 competed at St. Joseph’s RC Academy, Hebburn in the South Tyneside finals.
Our 4 teams competed with fabulous team spirit and sportsmanship against 24 other teams – with the aim of reaching the Tyne and Wear County Finals at the end of the month.
The focus and commitment from our teams was second to none, while they were all very determined to succeed during their games, talking and communicating with one another at a skilled level. Our team 1 and 3 topped their groups to qualify for the semi-finals, while team 2 finished in 2nd place and team 4 in 3rd place within their groups to just miss out on reaching the last 4 knock-out stage.
Here Stanhope 1 were paired against Forest View Primary, they advanced to the final, winning 3-1. In the second semi-final Stanhope 3 played a very competitive match against Harton Primary – they were victorious also winning 2-1.
Therefore both of our teams would meet one another in the grand final! A spectacular achievement for our school and the pupils.
After the first end Stanhope 1 led 1-0, however with the final shot of the match Bakhtawar Hayer (Captain) of Stanhope 3 hit a wonderfully precise shot to secure a 3-1 win for his team.
Well done to everyone that took part on the day and for all of your hard work and time when practising for the competition (it was worth it). The teams consisting of: Stanhope 3 — Bakhtawar Hayer, Evie Harle and Tyler Thompson (GOLD) and Stanhope 1 — Kai Muir (Captain), Lucas Dunn and TJ Ridley (SILVER) will now play at the county finals on March 28th.
This promises to be a momentous event for our school, having never previously qualified for a county final. I’m extremely proud.

On Tuesday our Y5 and 6 pupils enjoyed a visit from 4 Newcastle Eagles players who delivered training as part of the Hoops4Health training programme. They had a practical session learning basketball skills, plus 3 healthy headline sessions including dental hygiene and fitness advice. It was a fun afternoon with some of the pupils winning free tickets to an Eagles’ game of their choice!!
On Friday 6th January our 7 remaining A Team pupils competed in the Hoops4Health Finals at Sports Central, Newcastle. It was wonderful to watch the North Stand of Sport Central steadily filling up with nearly 100 excited families and friends from Stanhope. This was an amazing community effort, getting behind the team in a big finals event! Our players were really motivated to play in front of so much support, and give their very best.
The Stanhope team took to the court for the first semi-final against East Boldon. We immediately started positively, as we passed the ball around confidently. A flowing team move saw us take an early lead with Charlie Bates (Captain) finding the basket with a fine long range effort. This was met by a fantastic roar from the Stanhope support! We sadly couldn’t build on this lead and after much pressure conceeded 3 baskets to lose 6-2.
The final took place at half-time in the Eagles game, in a front of 3000 at Sport Central. St. Bede’s RC S/S took on East Boldon winning 4-0.
Well done to the skillful and dedicated players who had all trained outside with such commitment in the build up to the finals throughout a cold December. Finally, a massive thank you to the outstanding school community, for your support on a memorable sporting occasion for our school. Hopefully we will be back better and stronger once again next year!
On Thursday 1st December 14 pupils from KS2 competed at Temple Park Leisure Centre in the South Tyneside H4H qualifiers.
Our 2 teams competed with wonderful team spirit against 36 other teams – with the aim of reaching the H4H Finals night in January.
The ethic and sportsmanship from our teams was superb, while they were all fully committed during their games. Our team 1 topped their morning group, while team 2 finished in 5th place, to just miss out on reaching the last 16 knock-out stage.
Here Stanhope were paired against Hadrian Primary, they advanced winning 4-2, to playing the last 8 against Biddick Hall. In what was a very physical game we prevailed with fantastic leadership and agility demonstrated by Charlie Bates (Captain).
Well done to everyone that took part on the day and the parental support that we enjoyed at Temple Park. The team consisting of Charlie Bates, Maddison Fontaine (Vice Captain), Kara Carter, Sahib Basra, Aston Hall, Shay Capstick and Ethan Wardle will now play at Sports Central on Friday 6th January at 6pm.
It would be wonderful if we can get a lot of children and family members from our school community to attend this prestigious event. All tickets to watch Stanhope and the Newcastle Eagles will be free. It will be a fun filled and exciting night for Stanhope’s school community!
This promises to be a very special occasion for our school, having qualified for such a great competition for the very first time.
