  • Mr Crane's Afterschool Football club

    Published 07/02/25

    It was great to add extra friendly competition to the club this week as we invited Fordingbridge School to join in our Year 3-4 After school football club. 

    They arrived with a strong girls team and a mixed Yr 3 and 4 boys team and we were able to play  matches against both teams. It was so much fun and we hope to be able to invite them again.

  • Year 5 & 6 Sportshall Athletics Event - New Forest District Finals

    Published 27/01/25

    15 teams from across the New Forest participated in the Sportshall Athletics finals on Saturday at Testwood School. All athletes raced against each other over 3 events a run, a jump and a throw ending with an exciting mixed relay event. It was all about the experience and taking part as we encouraged each other to achieve some really standout individual performances, whether it was a good placing finish in the sprints, a well- executed or accurate throw or speedy jumping.
    We showed tremendous teamwork and also enjoyed supporting our fellow Ringwood- based school teams, cheering on our friends from Poulner School.
    Thank you for giving up your Saturday morning to represent Ringwood Junior School so well!

  • Year 5 and 6 Girls Gymnastics

    Published 20/01/25

    We were lucky enough to enjoy an afternoon devoted to gym together with other New Forest Schools and had a great time meeting the young leaders, who gave us top tips on how to perform routines and stretches and up level our skills.
    We seized the opportunity to explore the gymnastics facilities at Noadswood school, completing a carousel of different exercises and equipment as we moved around the gym. The gymnastics trampoline was a highlight, together with the springboard, beams and performing floor routines with ease on a sprung floor made our round-offs much easier. I’m sure this experience has encouraged our children to explore local gym or Acro groups to continue to improve on their natural abilities.
    I’m looking forward to taking some Year 3 and 4 children to repeat this experience in the next few weeks.

  • Year 6 Boys Premier League Primary Stars U11 Schools event

    Published 16/01/25

    A fabulous but nonetheless dream shattering morning was spent playing some really skilful football at the Community hub on Tuesday with dedicated Year 6 boys. 16 schools attended and we were put in a tough division. All the matches were intelligently played and exciting so we were pleased to not lose a match and thrilled to put 2 goals against the favourites. Sadly, with the way other matches played out we didn't quite earn enough points to win the division and to qualify for the knock-out semi final but our boys can be proud that they played with their hearts on their sleeves and showed great teamwork supporting each other in every match. Thanks to our great team of supportive parents, as always much appreciated.
    We are looking forward to a few more football events before Easter to involve all the other Year groups.

  • Year 6 Mixed Basketball

    Published 13/12/24
    The newly formed Basketball team really ‘slammed dunked’ it at a New Forest Schools 3 V 3 competition winning all of their matches in the first round to secure a solid position within the Premier Division. Although some of the team often play basketball at lunchtimes, we had to quickly adapt our play to the new rules of 3v3 match play. We were a little apprehensive of our ability upon meeting other schools, however I was so proud of their performance as they really stepped up and played some exciting, well-polished team play and many baskets were won. We were anxious that the next matches within the Premier Division could secure a medal. Sadly no medals this time but an incredible 4th place overall out of 16 teams and we enjoyed our well deserved round of applause from all the other teams. We all had a super experience and had fun at the same time. Year 4 and 5 it’s over to you now to get practising ready for next Year!

  • Indoor Athletics – Year 5 and 6 Ringwood School Qualifier

    Published 02/12/24

    We were fortunate to be able to compete and take 2 well-practised teams to the New Forest Schools Indoor Athletics Qualifier event this week held at Ringwood School. The teams are mixed Year 5 and Year 6 with all children competing in an individual run, jump and throw events along with a relay event using the kickboards to turn as you can see in the photo.
    There were 10 teams at the event and it was lovely to be involved in this from a competitive perspective but also it was great to see the children try so hard to achieve as many points as they could for their team. 4 teams qualified for the finals, which will be held in January and we all cheered loudly as one of our teams have made this final, along with gaining shiny medals.
    Thank you to all the parent supporters who were essential in making it a very memorable event for both our teams.
