• Y5/6 County Tennis Finals

  Thu 26 Jun 2025 Miss Griffin

  Bobby, Daniel, Hermione and Sienna went onto Carisbrooke Tennis Club to represent Melton & Belvoir. First up was a competitive defeat to Blaby & Harborough, with all 4 matches tightly contested. Next up was a draw against West Leicester, another hugely competitive match-up with some brilliant rallies on show. The team then got their well deserved win against Rutland before another tightly contested defeat to East Leicester, the team winning more points but narrowly missing out on match wins. 

  A fantastic experience had by all and it was brilliant to see the confidence and consistency of shots improve as the day went on, each player producing higher quality tennis with each match. Well done on representing yourselves, Waltham and Melton & Belvoir so well.

  

• Y3/4 & Y5/6 Melton & Belvoir Tennis

  Thu 26 Jun 2025 Miss Griffin

  A fantastic day was had at Melton Mowbray Tennis Club. In the morning, Waltham had three teams participating in the Y3/4 event each developing their singles matchplay understanding, serve and return as well as an introduction to doubles. The Waltham Wombats won their group and went onto the finals where they narrowly missed out on victory to Captains Close. 

   

  In the afternoon, it was the turn of Y5/6, where another 3 Waltham teams took to the clay courts. The Waltham Wizards finished top of their group and progressed to the final where they were victorious against Brownlow. A hugely competitive match which came down to points won after 2 singles wins each. A huge well done to all children involved, for demonstrating brilliant attitudes, team work and fair-play across the day. 

  

• Football Superstar!

  Fri 02 May 2025

  Over the Easter weekend, Albert went on a tour to Holland with the Football Development School Shadow Squad in association with Aston Villa FC.  The trip was great for learning both on and off the pitch and the players were up against teams from a number of European countries.  Albert scored 10 goals in the tournament including one in the final, which helped steer his u10 team to victory!

• Ratcliffe Cross Country

  Mon 10 Feb 2025 Miss Griffin

  It’s been another fantastic Cross-Country Season for Waltham with 17 runners giving their all around the Ratcliffe Cross-Country Course. The consistency and efforts made to attend these events really have reaped the rewards for the development of their running engines, perseverance and resilience, and bringing home silverware. On the day, we had 6 runners finish in the top 10 and a record breaking 10 runners qualify to represent Melton & Belvoir at the Primary Cross-Country Finals taking place on February 22nd February at Mallory Park. Huge well done to you all. At Ratcliffe, our KS2 boys were also presented with the ‘Toucan Schools Overall Champions’ award for 2024 after their success at the Mallory Park races.

  Thank you parents for getting the children to the start line and your support.

  The third and final race at Mallory park saw our highest turnout of Waltham runners so far this cross-country season. More personal bests, more top 10 finishes and more miles in the legs. Incredible efforts from all involved, well-done for representing yourselves and your school so well at Mallory Park this year and thank you parents for getting them to the start line. Next up, Ratcliffe College, Saturday 25^th January. Lets flood the races with Waltham red.

   

  Waltham have had a fantastic start to the cross-country season and we have had a huge number of children competing across the county. The team at Waltham wanted to say a huge well done to all involved and also a special mention to the Waltham Boys who are the Toucan Cross Country trophy winners!

• Santa Fun Run - Friday 6th December

  Fri 22 Nov 2024

   

   

  Rainbows Festive Fun Run

   

  Last year we were part of the Rainbows School Santa Fun Run, with other schools in our trust, and collectively we raised an impressive £8062.90 for Rainbows Children’s Hospice!  This year we will be working together again as one by taking part in the Rainbows Festive Fun Run as we aim to complete the distance from Rainbows Loughborough Children’s Hospice to Santa’s workshop in the North Pole to raise money for this wonderful charity, who help so many families, including those in our own Rise family.

   

  There will be around 4000 pupils and hundreds of staff in total, running, skipping, or walking the 2575 miles around sports fields, school halls and play areas to cumulatively complete the distance it would take to reach Santa in his workshop!

   

  We will be completing our Festive Fun Run on Friday 6th December in our school grounds. Further details of our event will be shared with you closer to the date. We fully understand how there are many pressures on families, especially more so at this time of year, but any support you can give to this amazing charity, would be hugely appreciated. Every step and every donation, no matter how small will genuinely make a difference. 

   

  Donations can be made through our Just Giving page or by cash to the school office in a named envelope. Please ensure a sponsor form is completed and enclosed for all cash donations.

   

  Supporting Rainbows is a Rise MAT initiative and part of creating opportunities for our school and others in the Trust to come together, and what better way than a festive Christmas themed fun run? It's a great chance to raise awareness, support this fantastic charity, and enjoy the spirit of giving - together.
