We raised an amazing £975 for Children in Need!

Congratulations to our Year 4/5 football team who beat Alderman Richard Hallam 9-3 on Wednesday (27/11/13). This was a remarkable victory against a very strong school. They have topped the Billing Cup West Area Group and progress to the knock out stages after Christmas.

A lack of practical lessons in schools in England means many teenagers are struggling with science, Ofsted warns. The report, based on visits to 180 schools – 89 secondaries and 91 primaries – in England, found most science teachers wanted to do experiments in class to spark pupils’ interest, but thought this was difficult to do in practice. Time was the most pressing concern. As a result, opportunities for investigative scientific enquiry were limited. This won’t happen at Abbey – don’t worry!

Abbey Primary’s sporting successes are mounting up. What a transformation over the last seven years. We are city and county cricket champions; the boys are city table tennis champions; the girls are city and county table tennis champions; all of our football teams are winning regularly and the Year 4/5 boys’ team have won the West Area Billing Cup trophy. Add to this the amazing work of the Abbey Sports Foundation and our brilliant performance at the City Cross Country Championships, and we are surely the top performing sports school in Leicester at the moment. We have great PE and sports opportunities in school, e.g. Taekwondo-do, Dance, Keep Fit and outstanding opportunities for our talented athletes.
