Students celebrate sporting success

Bridgewater teams have made a fantastic start to the 2022-23 season, with students celebrating success in a range of local and regional competitions this autumn term.

Our Year 10 footballers stepped up a year group to compete in the highly anticipated ISA North U16 8-a-side football tournament, coming away as 2022 regional champions. This was swiftly followed by back-to-back tournament wins for our U10 touch rugby side who faced teams from many of the large rugby playing schools across the North of England, showcasing their speed, skill and superb teamwork.

In athletics, team golds were secured by the Year 7 boys and girls in the recent indoor schools’ event, and pupils throughout the school continue to excel, both individually and as part of a team, in a host of other sporting competitions.

And, with opportunities still to come in cross country, netball, basketball and swimming, we look forward to many more fantastic performances.

As a student, you are the most amazing discovery you will ever make.
