Priory Crowned Small Independent Schools U13 Midland Champions

 

Monday 8th March:

Priory 1 – 0 Prestfelde

 

Congratulations to our Year 7 & 8 Football team who won the inaugural Small Independent Schools Midland U13 County Cup in a gripping final held at Birmingham City’s training complex at Wast Hills.

Priory battled through the first half against the wind and did well to finish the half on equal terms. Priory played the better football in the second half with Kyle King always looking dangerous on the break but it was Captain Daniel Evans who scored the winner from the penalty spot with an expertly cool finish.

A great performance from Priory ensured not only victory over the only team to have beaten them this season but also the great honour of being crowned Midland champions.

Commenting on their performance, Paul Pollard, joint manager said:

“All the team deserve credit for a fantastic season and a great battling performance and they should be proud of this achievement.”

 

Year 8 set out to solve our energy consumption

Pupils in Year 8 are taking part in the innovative Go4SET programme delivered by the Engineering Development Trust – a charity which aims to inspire young people to fulfil their potential through careers in science, engineering and technology.

The pupils are given the challenge of designing a solution to a real-life problem and follow a programme, with support from scientists in academia and industry, to help them develop their ideas.

Priory pupils have been set the challenge of looking at the use of energy in the school and identifying ways to reduce an aspect of it.

The pupils visited RAF Cosford for the launch of the project where they were given an overview of the issues, introduced to project management and time management skills, then ended the day by learning how to fire rockets in the hangar - a bit of light relief!

There now follows a 10-week course of sessions, during which the pupils will work through the problem and identify their own ideas for reducing energy use across the school.  They will be mentored throughout the project by two post-graduate students  (one a Bio-Fuel Scientist and the other a Mechanical Engineer) from the University of Birmingham.
