The Regents Review Spring 2023

DEPARTMENTAL NEWS Physical Education Football Round Up

The Year 10 football team have come up against some strong opposition in the league this season. However, they have produced some fantastic team performances against teams who gave consisted of 5 or more academy players. The season has been troubled and we’ve struggled to get a good run of games together, but the team’s positivity and committing has been exemplary. Good luck in the remaining games!

This half term, girls football club has started back up again, where we have seen a keen intake of new students attending training and joining our Years 7, 8 and Years 9, 10 teams. We are proud of the growth and development of girls football at Regents Park and are proud to see this in the representation through our teams. The Year 7 football team have had a great season, which has consisted of some fantastic wins and some really intense competition against other schools. We are very proud of the team, as they have always upheld the values and ethos of Regents Park through positive sportsmanship and respect. Every player has represented the school through each game with integrity, to which we could not be prouder. It has been a pleasure to oversee the progress of Year 8 in the Southampton Schools League this season. We have consistently had over 25 boys to training sessions weekly and lots have been given the opportunity to represent the school in fixtures. The boys have shown a real sense of the Regents Park ethos and have represented the school brilliantly. We have had nothing but compliments from other schools about the attitude of the boys and the teamwork they show on the pitch. We are currently sat fifth in the league with the highlight being a draw to Deer Park, who are currently 2nd in the league. At the time of writing, we have one fixture left in Year 8 and look forward to next season in Year 9. The Year 9 football team have played against a number of schools in the Southampton’s schools league. The schools include: Cantell, Redbridge, Woodlands and Oasis Lordshill. Unfortunately, we have only managed 1 win at the time of writing this against Greggs, 1:2. All other games we were in the fight, but unfortunately results did not go our way. All players represented Regents Park well, demonstrating great teamwork and sportsmanship. The Year 9 football team have been a pleasure to take to school and I really look forward to the last game of the season against Hamble. Go Regents!

TGC Ambassadors & PE Champions After the huge success of This Girl Can Ambassador and PE Champion Day back in December, students hosted their second major in lessons event, where they again, delivered full lessons to our Year 7 and 8 students. Further to this, our This Girl Can Ambassadors and PE Champions completed a charity swim and row challenge, with the aim to cover 21 miles (across the Channel!) to raise money for Young Lives vs Cancer and CALM. A huge thank you to everyone involved! Additionally, our This Girl Can Ambassadors helped out with the delivery of our Girls Biggest Football Session at the end of this half-term. Our aim was to have as many girls from Year 7 to 10, taking part in activities created by our ambassadors, followed by competing in a tournament. We are looking forward to having female role models from a local football team coming in for the day.
