Sports Events
Welcome to our Sports Page. Throughout the year we will be updating this with the various events that we attend as well as the competitions and events that take place at Middlefield.
The winner of the Sportsmanship Shield 2024 was
KALEN BAILEY!
Well done Kalen! You have been an absolute superstar, particularly when playing in goal for the football team this year. Your sportsmanship levels set the tone for the rest of the team. Fantastic effort!
SUMMER TERM 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
We started this term with another dodgeball tournament, this time Year 5. They made it all the way to the final, eventually finishing runners up! Great start to the term!
Other highlights of this term include
Priory Cross Country - strong performance by our 4 teams this year.
Football A team - Runners up in the A team Tournament
Y4 Cricket - Winners in the tournament at Eaton Socon Cricket Club
Well done to all the children who represented Middlefield in a sporting fixture this year. You have been an absolute credit to the school - played fairly, tried your best and smiled throughout, win or lose.
SPRING TERM 2024 HIGHLIGHTs
The new term began with an A team football tournament in Warboys. The standard was very high but our team impressed, particularly Kalen in goal, who drew the attention of opposing managers!
The B team footballers performed even better in a Hunts FA tournament, winning the local tournament at St Marys and competing strongly in the overall Hunts tournament at St Neots Football Club. Well done, team!
As something different, we sent a team of bowlers to St Ives to compete in a 10 pin bowling competition. They finished 2nd! Fantastic achievement!
Netball was high on the agenda this term. Friendly tournaments at Kimbolton Prep took place and then the Year 5 and 6 team took on the best of DLPT, eventually finishing 3rd.
A team of Y3 and 4 girls went to St Neots Football Club for a football festival. Having lost the first game to a very strong Westfield team, they picked themselves up, dusted themselves down and performed brilliantly, improving dramatically as the tournament unfolded. Special mention to Elsie Kitchener, who scored a hat trick in the second game!
It has been a pleasure taking teams out of school this year. Win, lose or draw, the children always seem to have fun, try their best and learn as they go, representing the school impeccably. Thank you to everyone who has represented the school this year so far!
AUTUMN TERM 2023 HIGHLIGHTS
We began the term with a Y4 Dodgeball team taking part in a DLPT event. The team supported each other brilliantly and everyone had their moment to shine, be it a fantastic throw to get someone out or a catch to allow a team mate back on. Well done team!
Hunts FA run 3 cup competitions during the Autumn Term - a girls competition, a Year 6 event and one for Year 5 and below. Despite playing really well, all three teams fell at the first hurdle. The girls got closest, going to the dreaded penalty shoot out before finally losing out.
Just days later, we hosted a DLPT Tag Rugby tournament and our Y6 team deservedly won the tournament, due to some fantastic teamwork. The majority of the team scored a try and produced some excellent tackling to limit the opposition to few chances. Well done team!!
Years 3, 4 and 5 were all represented in friendly football events at Kimbolton Prep. Our hosts were very welcoming and a strong link has been established with them. All teams were successful to some degree. The Year 5 team did extremely well, and Jake even managed a hat trick in one game!
The DLPT Swimming Gala was, once again, a fantastic event and for a second year running Freya took a neckful of medals home! Well done to all competitors!
The term ended with Year 5 and 6 participating in Bikeability Stage 2. In a four session course, they developed their riding skills both on the playground and on the roads.
We are pleased to report that Middlefield Primary Academy has been awarded the Gold school games mark award for the third year in a row. The School Games Mark is a government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community.
Twice a year the children across the Diamond Learning Trust meet together in year groups to compete and practise the skills they have learned during PE sessions.
