The Department decided to present the Team of the Year Award to the U14 ISA Netball team who finished as runners - up in the National Finals.  The team members were: Anna Worsfold, Marina Daniel, Jemma Lancaster, Deia Ayres, Jools Culross, Lana Wallis, Harriet Worthington, Ariel Specktor, Kate Webster and Jessie Lindley.

The Rising Star Award recognises the talent a young person has which may be external to our school sports but the Department acknowledges that they have high hopes for representative honours in the future.  

Three years ago this Georgia Carmichael went on a Kayaking Machine at Bourne End Sports Club which she thought was fun and was subsequently invited to train at Longridge Canoe Club. All this hard training has paid off as she is currently part of the GB U16 Development  Squad - the youngest in the squad. In July she did the Double - she is now: U14 K1 National Champion over Flat Water Sprint - 200m and 500m.

The Performer of the Year Award is voted for by the PE department and several names were put forward which were then short-listed until one person was left from each year group.

Year 7 - This was an extremely tough decision, with many talented youngsters but the Department felt that Kate Webster just about edged it over her peers.  This pupil is extremely shy but she is very strong, brave, speedy and multi-talented. Not only is she part of the hockey, netball and athletics teams here at Claires Court, but she is also a keen cricketer outside of school.

Year 8 - Awarded to Lana Wallis who is multi-talented youngster and is highly regarded amongst her peers and the Department.  Lana always gives of her best and wears a permanent smile.

Year 9 - Jemma Lancaster, is a fantastic role model to other pupils and is hugely deserved of this award.  She is a delight to teach and holds a focussed head and determined approach in all competitions.  She has represented the school in all teams including hockey, netball, cross country, athletics, swimming and tennis.  

Year 10 - Robyn Watkins who is another hugely talented performer who has excelled this year particularly within her major sport.  She has been a part of all teams and is an exceptional role model to others.

The Sports Personality of the Year awards are voted by the pupils via an online voting system making this award one of the most important as it is totally up to the voters as to who they feel the award goes to.

Year 7 winner was Emily Tapner Evans

Year 8 winner was Jessie New

Year 9 winner was Cleo Sloggett

Year 10 winner was Charlotte Webster

Jo Cox, PE Teacher said;

“For those girls who did not win an award it is without a doubt that those girls who are award winners would not have been able to do so without the support of you.  Regardless of year group or sport, at Claires Court we are one big sports team, congratulations to all and many thanks for your commitment, hard work, sportsmanship and talents for what has been a tremendously successful sports season.”
