Our February edition of News@TCAT is filled with positive news from across the Trust.

As a Trust we share resources and expertise, to ensure our young people experience inclusive learning opportunities alongside a challenging, fun and aspirant education. As a team, in partnership with parents, carers and other key stakeholders, we are ambitious to shape positive futures so each young person can excel and achieve their goals in education and beyond. 

It has been a busy week as always for the trust’s PE and Sports departments, with tournaments across East Riding as well as hosting events for local schools. 

This week the Hessle’s girls’ football teams headed off to Hornsea. The Year 7 team won 5-3 and the blended Year 8 and 9 team won 3-1. They showed great enthusiasm and sportsmanship throughout. Well done!  

Winifred Holtby’s Year 9 boys’ rugby team competed against Brooksbank in Yorkshire Cup Rugby League. They triumphed, winning 12-60! It was an outstanding performance which ensured that they qualified for the National Cup and Yorkshire Cup Semi Final in which they will face off against Archbishop Sentamu Academy in a local derby. 

Holderness welcomed 6 primary schools to the Sports Hall where they took part in an athletics competition on Tuesday! The event was ran by the Holderness Academy Leaders, and they did a tremendous job.  

Croxby’s Bees and Zebras were fantastic sportspeople. Team Bee learned to incorporate a small hoop into their gymnastic moves and Team Zebra showed resilience and teamwork in developing their bat and ball skills. 

Lastly, Macy from Wolfreton took this fantastic football photograph in her photography lesson (pictured above). 

Sport across the trust has returned in full force in recent weeks. With teams winning tournaments, former learners achieving new heights and hosting sporting events for other schools in the area. 

Former Howden student, Beth Norton is heading to the USA to play golf professionally at university. After completing her CTEC Extended Diploma in Sport at a local college, she will be advancing to Western College, Texas which is renowned for their sporting accolades.  

Winifred Holtby’s Year 8 and 9 Girls Rugby Team saw great success at the Hull Active School tournament. They finished 4th place at the end of the evening which is a fantastic achievement- especially since this was the first time some of the team had played Rugby League competitively. Well done girls, hopefully this is only the beginning of your rugby success! 

At Croxby, the Bees, showed off their jumps and leaps in gymnastics, and then discovered which foods fuel their bodies in the best way for exercise and investigated nutritional values. 

Hessle celebrated the successes of Olivia from Year 10, who is playing football for Humberside and scored a fantastic free kick which helped defeat their Staffordshire rivals 6-0. 

Holderness Leaders ran an event for 4 local primary schools – Years 3 and 4 from Burstwick Primary, Inmans Primary, Preston Primary and Sproatley Primary Schools competed in a Zone ball tournament.  

Wolfreton ran a brilliant morning in the sports hall for local Year 5 and 6s. The Sixth Form Leaders were superb role models and ran a really efficient event. 

As the Christmas break approaches, our academies across the trust have been celebrating in a multitude of ways. This has ranged from staff treating learners with discos and treats, to learners fundraising for the wider community. 

Just because the end of term is approaching, doesn’t mean our learners across the trust have stopped achieving great things in sport...
