Six Year 10 students participated in the Under-14 Warwickshire Cricket Finals held at the Edgbaston Stadium Indoor Centre. In their first match against Hall Green, the team was set a target of 93 runs to win after 8 overs. They came remarkably close, scoring a total of 82 runs, but unfortunately lost by 11 runs. 

In their second match against Handsworth Grammar Boys School, the team faced a tougher challenge, with Handsworth scoring 113 runs. The team struggled and was bowled out in the final over, finishing with a score of 56 runs. 

Despite these challenges, the team performed exceptionally well, winning 3 out of 4 matches in the group stage to qualify for the finals tournament. They deserve much credit for their efforts and represented Hodge Hill admirably.

On Thursday 27 March 2025, a group of 15 Year 10 pupils attended a trip to St George’s Park, the home of English football. The purpose of this trip was to give the members of the Year 10 football team an opportunity to visit a world-class professional football facility.

The pupils first arrived at the Hilton Hotel, which is located on-site, where they checked in. They were then greeted by a qualified England coach who guided them on the exact path the England football team takes when moving from the hotel to the boot room. During this walk, the pupils were introduced to various features of St George's Park.

Next, they visited the boot room and sat in the same seats as the current Men's and Women's National Team players while putting on their boots. Once they were properly equipped, the group walked to the main training pitch, which is an exact replica of the pitch at Wembley Stadium. 

Finally, they were taken to another pitch to participate in a 90-minute football session. During this time, the pupils were trained as if they were members of the England football team. Throughout the trip, the pupils displayed courtesy and respect.
