The Year 7 Russian class enjoyed a trip to the Russian Cafe of their own design on Monday 15th July. Mrs Willett was very impressed not only with the class’ willingness to try new things, but also their ability to order them in Russian. Well done Year 7!
On Tuesday evening we held our annual Sports Awards Presentation Evening. It was a fantastic evening celebrating a very busy sporting year and the excellent performances by both teams and individuals as well as the hard work and commitment that our students have shown towards PE as athletes and sports leaders.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Sports Awards evening, it is our favourite event of the year where we get to celebrate all the fantastic achievements across the year in a range of sports and present the sports leaders their well-deserved certificates. Well done to everyone who was nominated or won an award. We are really looking forward to another year of sporting success at Presdales from September!
Great achievement from the Year 8 and Year 9 tennis teams who both finished Runners Up in the Nicola Mabbit County Tennis Finals last week.
The Year 8s finished top of their group to reach the final and came up against a very strong Haberdashers team in the final. The girls played some great tennis and pushed Haberdashers all the way.
The Year 9s also topped their group and gave Parmiters a real fight in the final. It could have gone both ways with some really tight games and lovely tennis played.
The girls were a huge credit to themselves and to Presdales in a tough competition. Once again, it shows the depth and quality of our pupils who compete so well across a huge range of different sports.
Well done to all the girls. You were all star players!
Huge congratulations to all the athletes who competed last week in the very hot conditions! A great team effort by Presdales!
