On 24 May, we hosted a 7-a-side football tournament for Year 4 pupils from our partner schools.
Fulham Football Club Foundation, one of our community partners, joined us to run the tournament providing referees and organisers, the goals, the balls, the cones and multiple prizes. Referees gave out wrist bands as spot prizes for teamwork and sportsmanship too.
The standard of football was impressive – we had some stunning goals and two nail-biting penalty shoot outs. There was great team camaraderie and enthusiastic fan support (including Emanuel pupils at break time). For many of the children, it was their first experience competing for their school – and they loved it!
Football tournaments are a regular feature within our community partnership calendar. In addition, we provide over 1000 pupil-hours of swimming over the year, weekly disability football and hockey as well as rowing and rugby workshops.
