    U15 Rounders Success for Team THA! Thistley Hough Academy proudly participated in the U15 Rounders Competition this week, and what a fantastic performance it was! Despite six members of the squad playing up an age group – and in some cases, two age groups – the team rose to the challenge brilliantly. They secured impressive victories in two of their three matches and narrowly lost the third by just half a rounder. Finishing joint first overall, the team unfortunately missed out on a place in the City Finals, with the winner having to be decided on total rounders scored across the tournament. It was the closest of margins, but an outstanding achievement nonetheless. Considering the significant age gap for more than half of the squad, this performance demonstrates tremendous skill, determination, and team spirit. We could not be prouder of the players and the way they represented the Academy. Well done, Team THA – a magnificent achievement and a credit to the school. We would also like to wish our Year 7 and Year 8 rounders team the very best of luck in their final on Friday 10th July. We're all behind you! #ThistleyHoughAcademy #CreativeEducationTrust

    The Year 7 team represented the school brilliantly at the City Super 8's Athletics Competition, finishing an impressive 6th out of 14 schools. Throughout the event, students demonstrated excellent effort, determination, and resilience across all disciplines. From track sprints to field events, every competitor gave their best and supported one another, creating a strong sense of team spirit. What stood out most was the positive attitude shown by the group. Pupils approached each event with enthusiasm and focus, regardless of the challenge, and displayed great sportsmanship towards both teammates and other schools. Their willingness to step outside their comfort zones and contribute to the team's overall success was particularly commendable. Competing against strong opposition, finishing in the top half was a fantastic achievement. The experience will no doubt build confidence and motivation for future competitions. Well done to all involved! #ThistleyHoughAcademy #CreativeEducationTrust
