Sports Autumn 2025
The Daily Mile Santa Dash - Criftins children, from Nursery to Year 6, took part in this fun, feel-good event which is all about getting children, teachers, and whole school communities moving together to celebrate the joy of being active. The Santa Dash is the perfect way to spread festive cheer while keeping everyone healthy and happy in the run-up to the holidays.
Criftins football team travelled to Oswestry School to take part in a football tournament. They won their first 3 games, beating 2 Packwood teams and the Oswestry School team to go forward to the semi final where they were narrowly defeated.
Great work boys!
Our cross country runners took advantage of the sunny weather, running today in our free, lunchtime Cross Country Club, which is held weekly, weather permitting.
Year 5/ 6 Boys Football.
Our boys joined other local schools for a football tournament at Oswestry School. They regularly practise with Mr Jones in our lunchtime football club, weather and field permitting, so it was a great opportunity for them to get out and put their practice into action. The weather was perfect for football: wet and muddy with a magnificent rainbow.
A wonderful sporting afternoon enjoyed by all!
Our Year 5/6 girls football team joined 12 other teams for a cluster tournament at the Marches School. They played 6 nail biting games to finish in 4th place! Well done girls!
All 13 Year 5 and 6 boys were part of a group of 100 children who took part in a Flag Football training event at Thomas Adams School, Wem. The event was organised by Louis Gray, our School Games Officer for North Shropshire.
The stations were run by 35 of their amazing student leaders with a variety of drills teaching the children skills connected with the sport.
A wonderful morning of sport!
