Appleton get into finals of Five-a-side football competition! 9 boys from years 5 and 6 won a dramatic game in their final qualifying game to ensure a place in the under 11 South Bradford Football Finals. Playing Hill Top they came back from 1 – 3 behind to win the game 5 – 4. The boys got to travel to the Richard Dunn Sports Centre to play in the final tournament and played well showing great teamwork and determination, but unfortunately lost two games and drew two games to finish the competition in fourth place.

The STEM club has been working hard this term and completing some very exciting Science experiments after school. In addition to this a group of Year 9 pupils who are the STEM Leaders have progressed to the semi-final round of a National competition to design a Handball Stadium for the 2012 Olympics. Representatives from STEMNET visited Appleton Academy on Thursday 4^th February to watch a 20 minute presentation from the STEM club on their final designs for their stadium. Their plans are currently on the STEMNET website to be voted on by other competitors from all around the Country and the best five will be chosen for the National Final later in the year. Well done STEM Club!
