Our U12A, U13A, U14A, U14B, U15A, U16A and 1^st netball teams played a number of matches at the end of last week and earlier this week, you can read our match reports for each below: 

U15A Woodbridge v St Jo’s, Away, 7 March 2022, final score 32-12, Player of the Match: Georgie 

Although a very convincing win by another of Woodbridge’s very talented teams, the players themselves would agree that they could have won by more.  Strong movement and shooting by both Charlotte H and Skyla in the shooting circle coupled with accurate feeding from Issy and Charlotte C saw the team leading 9-2 at quarter time.  

Throughout the game a number of poor passing decisions led to the ball being intercepted by St Jo’s who had a particularly effective GD.  However, it was often the case that our own defence, Georgie, Nancy, Marina, Flo, Skyla applied pressure and forced an error from St Jo’s enabling Woodbridge to turn the ball back over.  

A dominant final quarter of 7-1 and Woodbridge won the match 32-1, with Player of the Match given to Georgie. 

1^st Woodbridge v RHS, Away, 8 March 2022, final score 14 – 41, Player of the Match: Emily 

This was by far and away the most cohesive team performance of the season so far and the score does not reflect how well the team played.  

RHS are an impressive side, but Woodbridge were particularly effective in defence with Molly, Lottie, Ella S and Evie closing down their attack and turning the ball over on a number of occasions.  

Issy H and Emily worked hard in the attacking third and shooting circle combining well with Jess, Clara and Ella P to provide some good shooting opportunities.  

A few less unforced errors and a bit more vision with some of our feeding could have seen further opportunities taken. 

The final score was a loss of 41 – 14 but the team were pleased with an improved performance, and a huge well done to everyone that played.  Player of the Match was awarded to Emily. 

U12A Woodbridge v Orwell Park, Home, 9 March 2022, final score 20-3, Player of The Match: Felicity 

For a young side this team are playing some super netball and having a very impressive season.  Strong throughout the whole match, all of the players contributed well to the overall result.  

Amelie, at GS, coped well with a GK who was doing her best to unsettle her, held her ground and timed her movement well to get free and score.  

Izzy, Georgia, Felicity and Annie combined well in attack with some fast-attacking movement, accurate passing and accurate shooting from both Izzy and Georgia during their quarters at GA.  

Our defensive combinations, Annie, Eva, Rosie and Phillipa read the game very well, closed down the attack, intercepted the ball on numerous occasions and in the second half on the game didn’t allow Orwell to score.  

Another win for the team 20-3 to continue their unbeaten run – well done to all.  Player of the Match was given to Felicity.  

U14A Woodbridge v Ipswich High School, 3 March 2022, final score 15-5 (shortened game) 

Two matches and two further wins achieved for this very talented team over the last week.  The match against Ipswich High School was shortened due to an injury on both teams around half time.  These led to the game being concluded at 3/4 time with a win to Woodbridge 15-5.  

 
U14A Woodbridge v St Jo’s, 10 March 2022, final score 34-16, Player of the Match: Nina 

The team travelled to St Jo’s for a league match last week; delivering a really strong team performance with everyone playing their part effectively throughout the game.  

The first quarter was reasonably close with both teams taking a few minutes to settle in and ending 7-4, but it was the second quarter when Woodbridge really delivered some impressive netball.  

Woodbridge won the quarter 12-2 with some outstanding drives into the attacking circle and shooting from Lara, excellent vision and feeding by Georgia and Scarlet, lovely attacking moves and shooting from the eventual Player of The Match Nina and almost impenetrable defence from Georgie, Juno and Issy. 

The number of interceptions, tips and turnovers throughout the match from the defence and indeed all players was exceptional.  At half time Woodbridge held a commanding lead of 19-12 and although the second half was closer the players continued to perform and with some well-timed movement and accurate shooting from Emily in the final quarter the team went on to win the match by 34-16.  A super result and a really super match – very well done to everyone that took part.  

U14B Woodbridge v Felixstowe, 14 March 2022, final score 37-1, Player of the Match: Lily 

The U14B team continued their winning streak with a 37-1 win over Felixstowe Academy this week.  

It was a squad of 11 players to get everyone experiencing competitive game play, as most players regularly attend the two training sessions a week.  

Ella played the two middle quarters (eight minutes a quarter) and with the other shooter scored 17 of the goals.  She was instrumental in getting the ball into the circle and scoring many of the goals.  

Likewise, Tabby, who has continually been nominated as Player of the Match this season, took a back seat playing two quarters.  

Player of the Match by the opposition went to Lily who kindly stepped in part way through the third quarter to play for Felixstowe Academy when one of their seven players were injured.          

Well done everyone that took part, a great game and great experience. 

U13A and U16A teams update 

The U13A team and the U16A team have had a couple of weeks of some fantastic netball.   

The U13A team has won games against Ipswich High 29-8, Orwell Park 18-13, Westbourne Academy, in the league 41-4, and St Joseph’s College 31-6.  This squad of 10 have shown huge improvements both in their defending and attacking skills, with Scarlett, Bea, Liya, and Lyrah dominating the opposition’s attack putting into practice delaying and domination in the circle.  Our attackers of Aurelia, Margot, Lily, Charlie, Millie and Eloise have proved their worth working on driving onto the circle and their shooting has been on point and boosted our goals for score to 196.   

The U16As have also had a good run of fixtures with recent wins over Ipswich high School 21-20 which was a real thriller and could have gone either way.  They also beat Claydon High School 28-3 in the League with everyone having a chance to play in different positions.  Moving to the end of the season we are hoping to put out our full strength squad that has been affected by COVID and injury.  Bring on the last games of the season!  

On Friday 11 March, students from Year 7 and 8 attended and competed in the St Felix Inter School Cross Country Competition in the chilly North Sea winds, racing against other runners from schools in Suffolk. 

Woodbridge Prep and Senior Schools had a great afternoon, achieving success at all ages.   

The Year 7 team which won with individual placings as follows: 

Romily – 1^st place 
Sophie – 2^nd place 
Izzy – 4^th place

Eloise – 1st place 
Lily – 6th place 
Bea – 7th place

Liya – 12^th place 

Huge congratulations to everyone that took part, achievements to be proud of! 

The following day, Saturday 12 March, a number of the School’s talented Cross Country athletes were in Loughborough to race in the UK Inter County Cross Country Championships, representing either Essex or Suffolk. 

The Inter Counties is one of the three end of season finals where all of the best athletes from England, Wales and Scotland represent their counties racing for team and individual honours.  This event includes senior men and women and usually serves as the selection race for the Great Britain team for the World Cross Country Championships.  This year the Worlds in Australia has been postponed to 2023.  

Every athlete at the event is in the top eight in their particular County, so the competition is fierce, but it’s a great experience for everyone that takes part. 

Three of our Year 7 and 8 girls were first up in the U13 Girls’ race.  Felicity (Y7) ran a brilliant race at what was her first nationals competition, particularly considering she is a Year 7 student; to finish in 75^th place, and as the first Suffolk athlete home is an incredibly achievement.   

Charlie (Y8) had a great run to finish 134^th and 3^rd in Suffolk; amazingly there were almost 60 finishers in less than 30 seconds between the two! 

Aurelia (Y8) as had an amazing first cross country season to make the various teams to compete around the country and she continued to do incredibly well, finishing a strong race in 214^th place; the Suffolk team were 25^th. 

Henry (Y11) competed in the U17 Men’s race, which is a Year 11 and 12 race.  Starting cautiously, Henry was always in the top 20 and although he was distanced from the top 10 at one stage, he finished the final mile stronger than most to come home in a spectacular 7^th place – against the very best from around the country.  Henry was also the first Year 11 home, which augurs well for English Schools in Kent this coming Saturday where he will be in a Year 10 and 11 race. 

Congratulations to all of the athletes for last weekend and good luck to eight of our cross country runners competing at English Schools on the 19^th March. 

Behaving charitably and supporting those in our School and local community, is one of the principles upon which Woodbridge School was built.  Students, within their houses, work to raise funds for individual charities each year including The Teapot Project, Suffolk Wildlife Trust, RDA Woodbridge and Zest (part of St Helena Hospice, Ipswich), and this year has already seen tremendous effort from every student!  Working towards winning a cup in recognition for their charitable efforts, each house holds a number of different events or takes part in sponsored activities in order to raise money, and below we report on just a few of the activities which have taken place recently as well as those that have taken place supporting other causes close to the hearts of those at School. 

Seckford House – The Teapot Project  

A delicious cake sale was held by students of Seckford House earlier in March, raising a grand total of £218.50! 

A sweet sale, found students selling everything from lollipops, Haribo and mystery pick n mix bags of sweets, recently and unsurprisingly (everyone loves sweets!) reported a fantastic turn out from the School community, money is still being collected and counted (we have to make sure all the sweets are sold!) and we’ll update this in the future confirming the amount raised. 

The Teapot Project which works to stop unsold supermarket and farm food from going to waste, rescuing and redistributing it on a Pay As You Feel basis.  Helping  to reduce food waste and hunger, the charity is based in Woodbridge.  For further information, including how you can support the charity, please visit About – The Teapot Project  

Florence and Charlotte’s abseil 

Florence, Charlotte and their mum Jules, recently abseiled down a 13 storey building, The Pelican Hotel next door to St George’s Hospital, in aid of their cousin Izzy Wilson, and her Smile Fund.  Izzy sadly lost her fight against Leukaemia a little over two years ago at just 11 years old, and the fund was set up as she had decided she wanted to repay the kindness she had received in hospital, but sadly she wasn’t able to finalise her plans.  Her parents set up the Izzy Wilson Smile Fund to make sure her wishes were put into action; raising money to help create a more welcoming and child-friendly environment, providing a range of child-friendly activities and supporting the wards with things that are over and above what is normally able to be provided. 

Huge congratulations to Florence, Charlotte and their mum, they’ve raised almost £8,000 so far! 

On Tuesday 8 March, Woodbridge School held An Evening of Vocal Music at St Mary’s Church in the town; and for the first time in nearly two years the Church was filled with an unlimited audience. 

The amassed choirs of Woodbridge Prep and Senior Schools provided an exceptional evening of song, directed by Miss Weston and Miss Barnes, accompanied by Christine Stafford. 

 The senior Chamber Choir set the bar high with an uplifting rendition of Finzi’s ‘My Spirit Sang All Day’ to begin the concert, and thoroughly deserved the rousing applause they received for ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’.  

The Prep School Chamber Choir was perfection itself as they told the story of David and Goliath, and no-one could deny that the Vocal Fellas showed true unity in their moving performance of ‘Fix You’. 

‘You Raise Me Up’, performed by Vocal Bellas, brought many a tear for our wonderfully warm audience who seemed to enjoy the wide and varied programme.  

Chorum fought against the odds of being down by two members to give a moving and poignant performance of ‘Home to You’.  

The evening finished with every single student performing ‘Down by the Riverside’; the words, “I’m going to lay down my sword and shield” fitting words for such challenging times.  

No one could deny the evening was one of musical celebration and fantastic performances and this was shown in a full standing ovation for the students – high praise indeed. 

Mr Ray Travasso commented on the evening, and so we summarise in the words of one of our parents, “What an amazing concert!!! Thank you so much for putting on such a beautiful evening at St Marys Church yesterday.  Your passion, enthusiasm and connection with the students was so lovely to witness. The repertoire was incredible and provided a meaningful response to everything that is going on in our world right now. It takes hard work, commitment, patience and years to get the students to the point at which they arrived last night. Thank you.” 

It continues to be a busy time for Woodbridge U12A, U12B, U12C, U13C and U14B netball teams, and despite some challenging weather during one particular match there have been some great results.  

U14B Woodbridge v Northgate, 15-20 , Player of the Match: Tabitha  

Last Thursday Woodbridge U14B netball team travelled to play a league game against Northgate A team. The score was tight throughout the first three quarters with Woodbridge two goals behind.  The last quarter saw Woodbridge pull to 15, just before the opposition pulled away to 15-20.  

With a large squad of 11, lots of players gained valuable match play experience during the game.  Tabitha was awarded Player of the Match yet again by the opposition, but all the girls played well getting the ball in our attacking circle and giving the team and players lots of shooting practice.    

U12C/ U13C Woodbridge v Orwell Park, 10-8, Player of the match: Rocky  

On Wednesday, a squad of 12 players for the U12C/ U13C netball played against Orwell Park in a block set of fixtures at home.  Following a somewhat shaky start which saw the first quarter score at 0-3, Woodbridge rallied for the second bringing the score to 4-3.  

The third quarter saw Orwell Park pull the game back to 6-7, leaving a tense final quarter which ended in a final score of 10-8 for Woodbridge. 

The opposition voted Rocky Player of the Match, recognition for many of the goals she was responsible for scoring.  With feisty defending from Amelia, Olivia and Matcha Woodbridge also demonstrated some great linking play from Ella and Evie.  

Congratulations to all the girls that took part, they celebrated with and enjoyed a cooked tea afterwards.   

U12B Woodbridge v Orwell Park, 7-3, Player of the Match: Violet 

Also on Wednesday, Woodbridge U12Bs, with the return of Rosa, played Orwell Park, in what proved to be difficult conditions.  The girls found the first quarter difficult because of the slippery surface but learnt to keep their passes short and use the width of the court.   

In the final two quarters of the game Woodbridge had settled in to the conditions and were playing their own game, spreading out more and cutting in front of their players to receive the ball.  The shooters, Emilia, Romilly and Grace had their eyes in and the goals became easier to achieve.  In defence Violet, Honor, Chloe and Esmee made multiple interceptions.  

The final result was 7-3 to Woodbridge, with Player of the Match awarded to Violet.  It was a great game, in difficult conditions, but the team should be very happy with their performance. 

U12A and U12B – South Suffolk Netball Tournament 

The U12 A and B teams took part in the South Suffolk Netball Tournament at Chantry High School; the other two teams taking part were Chantry and St Joseph’s A teams.  

Our two teams played each other in the first match with the A team understandably winning 15-0, with Isabella voted as player of the match by the opposition. The team of eight players rotated round each half of the three games to allow players to experience playing in different positions.  

The second team the As played was Chantry High School A team where they won 10-1, with Georgia voted as player of the match.  

Lastly, they played St Joseph’s School’s A team and won 9-0, with Felicity voted player of the match. The girls all played extremely well which was reflected in their own votes for player of the tournament, with most of the individuals mentioned, however two votes went to Annie.  

U12B roundup 

The U12 netball team have had an excellent run of results. Firstly, they played a mixed team from St Felix containing both Y7 and Y8 pupils.  The girls needed to swap positions in order to find the strongest combination which resulted in a win 16-9.  

Secondly, they took part in the South Suffolk A team tournament at Chantry, playing against Woodbridge As, St Jo’s and Chantry.  Naturally the Woodbridge Bs lost against the Woodbridge A team, but they then went on to beat St Joseph’s College 6-4 and Chantry 7-3.  This was a very pleasing whole team performance.  The centre court players, Sophie, Emma, Francesca and Grace maximised their energy levels to give quick, decisive and committed performances. Player of the Match was Romilly. 

Finally, the U12Bs played Orwell Park on Wednesday, the squad increasing again with the return of Rosa.  The girls found the first quarter difficult because of the slippery surface but learnt to keep their passes short and use the width of the court.    

In the final two quarters of the game the girls had settled to the playing conditions and were playing their own game, by spreading out more and cutting in front of their players to receive the ball. The shooters, Emilia, Romilly and Grace had their eyes in and the goals became easier to achieve. In defence Violet, Honor, Chloe and Esmee made multiple interceptions.   

The final result was 7-3 to Woodbridge. The team should be very happy with their performance. Player of the Match was Violet. 

With matches against St Felix, New Hall and Ipswich High, it’s been a busy time for our U12A, U14B and U14C netball teams – match reports for each below. 

U14C Woodbridge v St Felix, 15 – 17, Player of the match – Poppy. 

Before half-term, the U14C team enjoyed their second match of the season against St Felix’s U14/15B team.   

The girls knew this was going to a tough game as a number of players were a year older and a few inches taller, but the girls started strong; demonstrating good footwork, passing and marking well. By the end of the first quarter the score was 3-3.  

Unfortunately, during the second quarter, the opposition became fast and furious; this saw the Woodbridge team attempting to play to their level, which unfortunately interrupted their flow. At half-time the score was 8-5 to St Felix.   

During the second half of the game, Harper, Caoimhe and Martha all worked tirelessly in defence, trying to apply pressure on the shooters with Libby and Lucy helping in the centre court, picking up their attacking players.  Tilly’s composure as centre enabled the team to regain flow and distribute the ball effectively down the court, into space and the attacking circle.  There were some lovely set plays from the team’s defending end all the way down the court to our shooters which was incredibly aesthetically pleasing!  Poppy, Jemima and Jasmine all had their eye in and converted our shots into goals, and when unsuccessful, chased the ball for the rebound.   

The final score was 17 – 15 to St Felix, but it was a great game and a really good effort from the girls, one they should be proud of!  Congratulations also to our Player of the Match Poppy. 

U14B Woodbridge v St Felix, 19-11, Player of the match: Tabitha  

Following on from their win against Ipswich school the week before, the U14B team played with a big squad against St Felix’s A team of Year 9/10 players.  The match taking place at home on the Thursday before half term.  

It turned out to be extremely useful having the extra players, as several of the girls have been involved in the whole School musical which ran through this particular week.  Defensively the girls had to work hard to gain procession off their able, fast, opposition.  With the score at 9-9 at the end of the third quarter, Lara came on to help defend their strongest player.  Understandably, Lara was selected by the opposition as Player of the Match with the final score standing at 19-11. Our own A team voted Tabitha as Player of the Match; now a consistent choice in our games.  

Some great balls were passed by Lily, working tirelessly in centre court.  Alice, Martha, Eve and Tabitha also did a great job defending, while mid-court players Lilianna, Rose, and Lily kept the feeds into the circle to our shooter.  Nancy and Ella moved quickly to get in front of their tall defenders ensuring good opportunities for goals! 

Well done everyone that took part. 

U14B Netball match v New Hall, 26-17, Player of the match: Ella  

The U14B team played New Hall at home on Monday 28 February.  The first two quarters saw the score line very close with 8-8 in the first and 12-12 in the second; both teams were playing some excellent netball.  

Adding some more strength to the team in the third quarter saw the score line change to 21-13, and the last quarter, although close, was not close enough to change the final score of 26-17 to Woodbridge.   

All the girls gave 100% and completely deserved the win.  The opposition not surprisingly gave Lara player of the Match, while Mrs Knowles felt Ella had an excellent game too; not just her movement and shooting, but also her feisty defending.   

Well done to all and the team is looking forward to their next league match. 

U12A Woodbridge v Ipswich High, 33 – 5, Player of the Match: Amelie 

There was another win under their belts for Woodbridge U12As, with a friendly match against Ipswich High.  

Although at times the game was scrappy and the passing let them down and enabled the opposition to intercept.  However, luckily our defenders Eva, Pip, Rosie and Annie marked tightly and made some super interceptions to ensure the team gained possession of the ball.  

Izzy, Georgia, Amelie and Felicity all played a vital role in the shooting circle and shot some great goals.  The final score was 33 – 5 to Woodbridge, and Player of the Match went to Amelie.   

Huge well done to everyone, the team can look forward to their tournament which takes place on Monday 7 March at Chantry as well as their fixture against Orwell Park at home next Wednesday 9 March. 

The Intermediate Maths Challenge, which encourages mathematical reasoning, precision of thought and fluency in using basic mathematical techniques to solve problems, was held early February 2022 with 117 students from Years 9 to 11 taking part.  This week the results have been announced and can be seen below; we’re delighted to report that 55% of those who sat the paper achieved a certificate – huge congratulations! 

Earlier this week 16 students Years 10 to 13 represented Woodbridge School at Felsted MUN 2022, the theme this year was ‘Striving for greater global co-operation’.  Year 10’s Bee and Rose report on the conference for us. 

Felsted MUN 2022 

Encapsulating the continued need for international co-operation and unified change, a significant message during these troubled times, this year’s Felsted MUN conference was attended with enthusiasm and courage.   

The health committee tackled the rise in obesity, human genetic modification and global cooperation on vaccinations.  Year 10’s Skyla and Rose argued their amendments, which were both approved with an overwhelming majority.  The Ecology and Environment Committee also succeeded when debating the search for sustainable energy solutions as well as the controversies surrounding the trading of ivory.  Year 10’s James argued for a resolution on sustainable energy and delegates, while Year 11’s James and Bee raised points of information to question the motives and beliefs of other countries.  Year 10’s Harry and Amelie, Ethiopia’s delegates, also valiantly opposed a resolution on nuclear energy in the joint committee of Ecology and Environment and ECOSOC.  

ECOSOC also debated women’s right to an education, investment in space travel and the provision of foreign investment in developing countries. Year 13’s Jade and Year 10’s Ewan also ensured that their country’s voices were heard through point of information and amendments.  Year 12’s Iris, Year 10’s Xander and Marina stood as delegates for the countries of the UK, Ethiopia and Argentina in the human rights committee; debating the imprisonment of minors, the treatment of the Weger Muslims as well as the rights to abortion.   

The Security Council discussed the escalation of violence in Russia and Ukraine, year 13’s Maisy handled this debate with confidence and sensitivity. Moreover, Year 13’s Sophie, in the 1979 Historic Security Council, debated the Soviet invasion and Afghanistan giving careful consideration to the colonial legacy of the country herself represented, the UK. 

Not only was this conference filled with debate and discussion on many interesting topics but we were privileged to hear two guest speakers talk. Ash Perrin inspired us all when speaking of his experience in working with minors in refugee camps and the importance of fun for all those children who are in vulnerable situations. Thomas Sparrow, a German news correspondent, gave an informative insight to the media’s coverage of Russia and Ukraine’s war.  

This opportunity for debate and discussion would not have been possible if wasn’t for the support and time given by our teachers. Miss Hinton and Miss Saagi gave up their time to escort us to Felsted, making sure we had fun on our journey.  Thanks also to our MUN Director, Dr Ruggiero, who organised our contribution to this conference and enabled us to be part of the MUN community.  The experience has really helped us to further develop our confidence when speaking and debating in front of a very large audience.  We all enjoyed every moment and look forward to MUN in the future. 

There was cause for celebration amongst the Equestrian team this week, with riders qualifying for Championships at Keysoe, due to take place in October.

Brilliant riding from both of them, huge well done! 

Dressage Show, Martley Hall, Saturday 5 February 

Parents from Woodbridge School organised and held a dressage show at the beautiful Martley Hall in Easton recently, in response to so few dressage qualifiers being held less than two hours’ travelling distance away from School.  Organising and hosting a show for Suffolk and Norfolk schools, our team of extremely dedicated and efficient parents ensured the event ran smoothly and was enjoyed by all who attended. 

Although the day started bright and dry, the wind came in rather quickly and icy temperatures followed.  However all competitors coped admirably in what some might consider to have been an Artic blast!
