“A great opportunity”
Speaking on the Team’s achievement, Barton Peveril student and former Brookfield Community School pupil Liberty Griffin said:
“I was proud to lead our team of talented young players to our best ever achievement within the national competition. It was a great opportunity to demonstrate our versatility and teamwork to beat some very good opponents from the rest of the region. We are thrilled by our achievement and we are looking forward to the rest of the season.”

“As Vice-Captain of the Netball Team, I am so proud of everyone. We worked so hard with such enthusiasm and came out with a positive 3rd place, at such a high-level Netball Tournament.”
Barton Peveril Teacher of Sport, Alix Christopher, said:
“I’m so proud of all the players. It was a very long, cold day but the girls were fantastic and played their absolute hearts out. With most of the competition being private schools, I’m so proud of all the students.”
