Turnfurlong Cross Country Run

It was a cold and wet Saturday morning, but our Long Crendon long distance runners (Yrs3-6) were ready and motivated. We had 11 pupils in total, which was a little low in numbers compared to some of the competing schools. All of LC’s team ran well, with a special mention to Ava Kemp, Oliver Holmes, Harper Holland and Charlotte Hunting who all received medals in their races. The Year 3 Girls almost took a team medal coming first and second, but unfortunately we didn’t have another representative for that year group, so didn’t quality. It was a great effort all round considering the conditions and all of the pupils should feel proud of their achievement. Fantastic resilience!

Thame Partnership Yr 5/6 Boys Football League

Long Crendon played another hard match against Brill on Wednesday, losing 3-1 again. The scoreline wasn't a reflection on the game, with LC playing a brilliant second half as well as having a disallowed goal, which should have been given. The take away from me was the sense of unity and teamwork that weas evident, with everyone playing well together, passing, creating chances and supporting each other. I was also impressed with the encouragement some less experienced players received from their more established peers. It was great to see and I felt proud of our school. Well done to all.

Thame Partnership Yr3/4 Boys Football Tournament at the ASM Stadium

Long Crendon had a great afternoon of football competing in 4 matches against our Thame partnerships schools. We won two matches, drew one and lost one. Unfortunately, we were knocked out of the final. The boys played well and showed fantastic resilience in the freezing conditions and prevailing winds. I was really proud to receive some wonderful feedback from another school, whos’ coach/teacher said that we were the most polite and respectful team that they played. Congratulations on modelling our values and representing our school so brilliantly. Thank you also to the parents who came to support and help with some of the coaching!

Thame Partnership Yr 5/6 Boys Football League

Long Crendon had a challenging match against Barley Hill on Thursday with a 3-1 defeat. Barley Hill had some high ranked players who had clearly played together before and were determined to win. Thanks to a superb performance from our stand-in Goalkeeper Connor, they would have scored a few more, with a number of chances they had early on.

All the boys played well, with a number of rolling subs to allow opportunity for the players to gain experience in different positions and to allow new players time to develop.

We were proud of the team for their support and respect for their opponents. Barley Hill thanked us for making them feel welcome and for a great game!
