Sports and Clubs

Great evening of cricket at Knowle Cricket Club. The squad were amazing, supporting each other and listening to advice in developing their skills. We had two tough games but they showed determination and kept heads high. Mrs Tindall is very proud of you all! 

Swim Gala 2023

Twelve Y6 pupils attended the 2023 Ashton Schools Sports Partnership Swim Gala at Hengrove pool. Our children raced against children from many different schools across South Bristol. The pupils worked hard as team and really supported each other. Overall we came 4th as a team which is an incredible achievement, well done team Parson Street!

Girls’ Football League

Mr Whitmore took our Y5/6 girls to play in the ASSP football league that took place over 3 weeks at South Bristol sports centre. They played some tough games but fought hard, really working well as a team through attack and defence. They came away with many well deserved wins and are now invited to the finals at the end of March. Well done girls! 

Well done Y5 and Y6 boys for 2 weeks of great football. These boys certainly didn’t lack passion and put everything into playing their best. We had some tough games and came away with some wins, draws and losses. Playing matches teaches resilience and at times this is hard but we learn from it.
 

Massive thank you to all the parents/carers and grandparents that came to support in the freezing cold! It’s very much appreciated. 

Fifteen year 3 and 4 children attended the sports hall athletics event run by Ashton Park School Sports Partnership. For many it was their first sports event representing Parson Street. They were incredibly respectful and supportive of each other working as a team. They all tried their best and made Ms Watts and Mrs Tindall very proud. Well done team, you’re all super stars!

What a fantastic morning of Tag Rugby for some Y5 and Y6 pupils. The sun was shining and the girls were fantastic! We played 4 games, won 2, drew 1 and lost 1. The progress they made as a team with their skills throughout the morning was amazing. Thank you Ashton Park for organising and Broad Plain for hosting!

ASSP Swim Gala 2022

Last week some Y5/6 children had lots of fun at the annual Ashton School Sports Partnership swimming gala which has made a welcome return.

The gala, held at Hengrove, saw many primary children from schools across south Bristol, compete against each other in individual and relay races.

We are so proud of all our children that took part, we even came home with some gold, silver and bronze certificates! Well done team Parson Street!!

SPORT COMPETITIONS

Really proud of the Y5 and Y6 children that have attended the basketball league at Merchants. Over the 4 weeks they have all made incredible progress, developing their attacking and defending skills. We had some really tough games but they always showed great sportsmanship and held their heads high. Well done team Parson Street!

TAG RUGBY LEAGUE 2021

14 boys and girls from Y5 and Y6 go to a Tag Rugby Tournament every Monday after school. We play at Broad Plain against other schools. We have had some hard matches but have gone home happily each Monday.

Coach of the year Award

RUBY FERRIS

Ruby came to Parson Street as a sports apprentice 3 years ago and became an amazing sport coach.  She motivated and engaged so many children to get involved with sport and was a really fun coach to work with.  She was always so flexible and willing to just get stuck in.  However being so young she wanted to spread her wings and do something different so at Christmas she had a career change. Although she is no longer a sports coach, she didn't leave us, we still get to enjoy her silliness but now in the school office! Thank you Ruby for everything!

Y5 and Y6 Football League

15 boys from Y5 and Y6 have played football matches at Merchants Academy, supported by Mr Butcher and our coach Billy.  We have had some tough matches but had a great time playing. There has been some terrible weather but we have conquered on!
