Netball Update
Wed 08 May 2024Year 7
We have a busy season with limited numbers we have managed to filed a team for every game. All players have shown great commitment to training a even in the colder darker months!! Games have been against some strong opposition with one victory this year. Massive improvements have been made across the season and hopefully with some new members who still want to join next season we will go from strength to strength. Special mention to following for help sorting teams Poppy Everad, Ellie Nevelle and Katie Arthurton as well as been core members of all of our games.
Year 8
Earning promotion form last year, the team was determined to continue their winning ways. They achieved this with flying colours with some games being won by 20 goals! With their last game against Becket Keys on the 19th March, with a convincing win of 17-4, they secured top spot of Division 2 . This now means they will be promoted to division 1 next year.
They have also competed in the district tournament on the 20th March. Playing a round robin the team came second to Great Baddow. Again the whole season has been strong and commitment will need to continue to win some games next year in the top division. (photo attached of district winning team)

Year 9
Again gaining promotion from last year games have been tough this year. Players have shown great resilience and determination in some very close games. They wins will hopefully help to maintain their position in division 2 for next year. Also special mention goes to Izzy Bower, Emma Sweeny and Mathilda Thatcher for help with checking teams.
As well as this along with Emily Holmes they have regularly helped out with coaching of the year 7and 8 teams. All showing fabulous leadership skills!
Year 10
Playing in a higher division this year, we have seen closely fought games. The whole team has worked hard to progressing ball down the court as well as using the channels - favourite phrase!
The final game highlighted their ability work well as unit coming form behind to beat Brentwood County High School. Special mention goes to Sophie Lawrence and Katie Cox - who have also developed their coaching skills at the 7/8 training sessions.
Well done all, season finished now, but look out for a potential summer league club in summer term.

New Character Points!
Wed 31 Jan 2024This term sees the launch of our new Moulsham High School ‘Character Points’. This will replace the BFL (Behaviour for Learning or Achievement Points). The new points system is inline with our whole school ethos of ‘Enjoy, Enrich, Achieve’ to nurture the students ‘Character’ which is a fundamental part of their development.
Assemblies have taken place as part of the launch explaining the importance of all these Character Values and given examples of how they can achieve Character Points from staff whether it is in lesson, around school, or involvement in extra-curricular activities.
Students will keep the points that they accrued so far but from this term on, they will be renamed as ‘Character Points’ and issued under the 9 Character Virtues. They initially count for 1 point (same as BFLs) and staff can award up to 3 points at a time. We will continue to celebrate in assemblies the House, Forms, and individual students that are achieving the most points.
Here are just some examples of New Year, New Term goals that students can do to develop Character and achieve Character Points:
- Join a new club
- Undertake the Moulsham Award
- Complete online learning such as Mathswatch
- Enter a House competition
- Read at least 3 books before ½ term
- Research careers or courses
·
Aim to achieve at 1 character point a day
Thanks to our Student leadership team: Will Smith, Heidi Ryder, Ellie Matthams, Jack Roberts, Rory Aisworth and Ruby Walker for contributing to the launch with students whilst also undertaking their Year 13 Prelims.

Year 7 Trip to Stubbers Adventure Centre
Tue 03 Oct 2023It was a day to remember for our Year 7 students as they gathered excitedly in the playground ready for a day of adventure. After a short coach journey full of excitement and chatter we arrived ready to make memories to last a lifetime.
Stubbers Adventure Centre, served as the perfect backdrop for our students to embrace new challenges, take on thrilling trials, and bond together as a new year group. From high and low ropes courses to laser tag and even axe throwing, our students got to build more than just their physical prowess.
Overall the day at Stubbers was a resounding success and we were immensely proud of the way in which our year 7 students conducted themselves. It was wonderful to see them building bonds and encouraging each other along the way.
