10th December 2024A Rogers

Today our Year 5/6 gymnastics teams competed at the Urban Factory in the South Tyneside gymnastics finals. The children got to use the amazing facilities and had a great time trying new things. They then performed their routine in front of the judges which was very nerve wracking. All of the children tried really hard and remembered their routine perfectly. We are very proud of all the hard work they have put in.

The results were as follows;

First place – Lord Blyton

Second place – Stanhope A

Third place – Cleadon

Mrs Cooper and Miss Simpson.

Tyne & Wear County Panathlon Finals 2024

27th June 2024A Rogers

Stanhope’s Sportsability team attended the County Final Panathlon event. We won our way to this county final with brilliance and resilience. This competition began in January with Sportability and Boccia events, of which Stanhope’s teams won first place in the authority and for Boccia, First in the county.

We have had some fabulous athleticism from Richard with his ten-pin perfection, Faith’s Parachute precision, Haroula’s target tenacity, Alfie’s Ace aiming, Grace’s Boccia blast brilliance, Bentley’s bonzer basketball, and Lucas’ kurling craftiness!

We won a thrilling third place amongst some very tough competition- we were only 11 points behind the winners!

All were magnificent in their events and were the best-behaved team I have had the pleasure of leading.

Well done panathletes.

Mrs Ali.
