Year 9 pupil Ashton's hard work paid off again as he won his most recent fight, earning the well-deserved title of Midland Counties Junior Champion 2026.

Up against powerful opposition, Ashton came out strong in all three rounds to gain the unanimous decision.

This is Ashton's fourth Midlands title and he goes on this week to fight in the Pre-Quarter round of the England Boxing National Junior Championships. These Championships have been running since the 1930s and are a breeding ground for some of the country’s future boxing stars. 

Best of Luck!

Many of our Key Stage 3 pupils had the opportunity to enter poems for the ‘I Have a Dream’ poetry competition, run by the charity Young Writers. Boys were able to write a poem about their dreams and enter it for the possibility of publication. Many boys worked incredibly hard and their entries were subsequently fantastic. Here are some pupils from 7X/En2 whose work was published in the book and who now own their very own copy! There are also copies in the library to peruse. Well done to all who entered and keep your eyes peeled for any future Young Writer competitions in which to participate...
