Kay Downey, Jess Harding, Ailsa Mackie and Ella Gregory, competed against two other schools in the county round of the badminton tournament at the University West of England. They won all their matches bar one winning the tournament. They came home with the shield (which Chew Valley has won the last 2 years) and a medal each.

Hockey

The Y9 girls’ hockey team beat Writhlington School 1-0.  Well done to Charlotte Fowler for scoring the goal and to Hannah Yeatman for being named girl of the game. 

Danielle Ireland

In October 2011, I took my Tae Kwon Do black belt. I have been working my way up through 11 belts to get to my black belt. On the grading you have to go through patterns, sparring, line work and theory which is all in Korean, which is the language of the country the sport is from. I have been doing Tae Kwon do for 4 years now. I really enjoy all aspects of Tae Kwon do which includes breaking wood with my foot and hand.
