During our Parent Forum session at Shalfleet, it was mentioned that our year 5 parents were a little
concerned about the Secondary School application process. So in response to this, we thought it would
be beneficial for us to briefly outline the process. In September, Secondary Schools will start to
advertise ‘open evening/days’, this will give you the opportunity to visit schools of interest, listen to
talks and have a look around the class rooms. During these open evening/days, Secondary Schools will
also hand you information packs. We will of course advertise these events in our weekly newsletter. In
this time frame you will receive a letter from the Isle of Wight County Council (via school) which will
explain the application process and deadlines. Usually the deadline for applications is in October with
the confirmed place offer sent around March. All of this information will be detailed in the letter sent
by the IOWCC. In September, please keep reading our newsletter for open day events. We hope this
has provided you with the basic outline of the process.

Sports Report Yarmouth
Our last wheelchair basketball of the year meant it was the year 6’s turn for a tournament. There was some excellent
skills shown by everyone, some excellent passing moves and good baskets from Finley, Sky, Jaydon Tawnie and Bella, and
after playing each other twice the winners were the team of Finley, Bella, Tawnie and Liam.
On Monday April 1st our under 11 girls travelled to Queensgate for the rural league final where we faced our local rivals
and federation friends at Shalfleet. The game started off in a cagey manner with Shalfleet having a lot of the ball,
however Maia and Paisleigh defended resolutely to keep them out. Yarmouth couldn’t get into their stride and were met
by some firm defending whenever we tried to attack. Shalfleet deservedly took the lead when a corner was tapped in at
the near post. Credit to Yarmouth as we kept battling, Olivia chasing everything in midfield on a day that was so hot the
lucky hat had to be dispensed with early on! Izzy replaced Tawnie in goal as we searched for an equaliser, which came
after a quick throw from Olivia found Ocean, who turned brilliantly and finished at the near post. Charlotte replaced
Sky to give her a rest and chased everything getting in some good tackles.
HT 1-1
Still not playing with as much confidence as they should we started the second half in the same manner as the first, and
Shalfleet again took the lead after a long shot eluded Izzy. The girls dropped their heads and it looked as though the
game was slipping away, Shalfleet attacking, but the defence standing strong. This drove everyone on and with only 2
minutes left Olivia sent Tawnie free down the right, who put in a great cross for Ocean to fire home the second
equaliser of the game.
FT 2-2
The game went into extra time, and for most of it, a draw seemed the likely result, however Tawnie had other ideas, and
after getting the ball from Sky, she ran free to score again. There was still time for another long shot from Shalfleet,
but this time Izzy was equal to it. The final whistle went and the girls had done it!
FT 3-2
Team. Tawnie, Olivia, Ocean, Maia, Sky, Paisleigh, Isabella C, Charlotte.
OUR SPORTS AWARD IS PRESENTED TO:
The girl’s football team. This season the girls have done the school proud, showing commitment and dedication to
always be at the games, and nearly always bring their letters back! They have been rewarded with the under 11 rural
league, which we were runners up to last year, and the first sports trophy for the school in a long time. They should
be very proud of themselves, as they have grown as a team and as individuals and are a credit to the school.
Well done!
