We are proud to announce that Thorogate has been granted Equal Access for Girls Football in school. The award has been granted as we offer equal access to girls football in school, within the school curriculum, after school and through inter school events. It's been so pleasing over the past few years to see a huge increase in the amount of girls at Thorogate who love football. We now have numerous girls that play for a grassroots club and we enter every festival / tournament possible to ensure children are given the opportunity to experience matches against other schools.

Next Tuesday alone, we will be taking 12 Y3 girls to a fun filled football festival at Wath Academy in the morning and then our Y5/6 girls team will be attending the Don and Dearne Girls Cup qualifying tournament at Mexborough in the afternoon.

If you're interested in finding a club for your daughter, please let me know and I'll point you in the right direction.

Mr Bedford
