Currently playing in goal for Wootton St George U8s, Austin has been part of the team for the past two years and has developed into a reliable and confident presence between the posts. Goalkeeping is clearly in his blood — he follows in the footsteps of his brother and sister, both CCS Primary alumni, who also represent their teams and schools as goalkeepers.

This season, Austin’s impact on the pitch has been significant. He has recorded multiple clean sheets, demonstrating strong shot‑stopping, positioning, and composure well beyond his years. One of the highlights of the season came when Austin scored directly from his own goal area with a goal kick — a rare and remarkable achievement at any level — helping his team secure an important win.

Austin’s performances have not gone unnoticed. He has been approached by both Leicester City and Northampton Town (Cobblers) to take part in academy training programmes, recognising his potential, athleticism, and game awareness. Austin has chosen to train with his local club, Northampton Town, where he now trains weekly and is looking forward to taking part in competitive fixtures over Easter and into next season.

Away from football, Austin is a true all‑round sportsman. He plays tennis with weekly professional coaching and regularly competes in tournaments across the country and surrounding areas, gaining valuable experience in high‑pressure individual competition. In addition, he enjoys a range of team sports including basketball and rugby, further developing his teamwork, coordination, and competitive mindset.

Austin’s dedication, enthusiasm, and willingness to challenge himself across different sports set him apart. Whether representing his football team, competing on the tennis court, or trying new challenges, he consistently shows determination, sportsmanship, and a love of competition.

Well done, Austin — a fantastic season so far, and an exciting journey ahead!

Back in September, Molly took part in a series of trials for the Nottingham Forest Netball U18 PDP. Nottingham Forest is one of the eight clubs competing in the Netball Super League (NSL), the highest level of netball in the UK, and is affiliated with Nottingham Forest Football Club.

Originally trialling for the U15 squad, Molly impressed selectors so much that she was invited back to trial with the U18s. She has now been officially offered a place for the 2025/2026 season. At just 14 years old, Molly is one of the youngest players to be accepted into the Nottingham Forest U18 PDP programme.

Molly trains weekly in Nottingham, taking part in both strength and conditioning sessions and on-court training. Throughout the season, she will compete against U18 PDP teams from other NSL clubs, including Manchester Thunder, London Pulse and Leeds Rhinos. She is also excited to make use of her free season ticket to watch the NSL squad play at their home games.

Molly’s netball journey began at the age of 7 at Futureprint Netball Club. Since then, she has represented Northamptonshire County at U13 and U15 PDP level, as well as Derbyshire County’s U15 PDP last season.

Year 6 student Freya is pedalling to the top, claiming her first national victory in BMX racing.

Freya has always had a love for riding bikes, and around two and a half years ago, she discovered her true passion—BMX racing. Since joining the Milton Keynes BMX Club, she's been unstoppable on the track.

At the recent National BMX Series in Scotland on Saturday 3^rd and Sunday 4^th May, Freya delivered an outstanding performance against 21 top riders from across the UK in her age group. On Saturday, she raced her way to an impressive 3rd place, but she didn’t stop there—on Sunday, she stormed to victory, taking 1st place and earning her very first National win!

Thanks to her incredible results in last year’s National BMX Series, Freya has caught the attention of the BMX world. She is now proudly sponsored by an Elite BMX Team and has officially qualified to represent Great Britain at the World Championships in Copenhagen this summer, a phenomenal achievement!

Freya’s journey is just beginning, and after her breakthrough weekend in Scotland, she’s more determined than ever to keep climbing the podium and racing with the best in the world.

After completing the 5k, Tracy and Tyanna were honoured with medals – and even the dog too! – for their hard work.

Very well done to you both on your efforts supporting this fantastic cause.

Well done Poppy!

Whilst only being in the early days of his martial arts journey, Zachary demonstrated his talent and resilience in a friendly in-house competition, being awarded bronze and silver in two events. The competition, which was organised by his martial arts school, was designed to welcome members from across their clubs covering the local area, helping them gain confidence and skills.

Toby’s initial passion for Go Karting began at a young age, racing across a number of indoor and outdoor tracks, and it was quickly obvious he had a natural talent and desire to learn and be competitive.

He has been a part of the Whilton Mill Karting Academy for over 12 months now. Initially, the programme teaches core skills of STEM based learning using the medium of motorsport. Over six in-depth modules, each lasting 4 hours, covering safety, Kart control, race craft, mechanics, engineering and the science of going fast.

Following Toby’s graduation from last year’s programme, he qualified to compete in the WMKA Graduate Championship for Cadets (aged 10-12) which involves 8 races over a 6-month period. Each race includes a timed qualifier, 2 heats and a grand final. Points are awarded depending on placing, and a Championship Winner will be awarded at the end of the season.

In just his 2^nd Championship race of the season, Toby qualified for the final in pole position, and led the race throughout, eventually crossing the finishing line in 1^st place, just 0.2 seconds ahead of 2^nd place, in a race where less than 3 seconds separated the top 6 drivers.

6 races still to go, but Toby currently sits at the top of the overall standings!

We wish you lots of luck for the remainder of the Championship Toby. We are all rooting for you! 

Maximus has always had a passion for running. His enthusiasm was evident as early as Reception, when he took part in a sports day relay race that he thoroughly enjoyed. Even then, he was already displaying impressive running form and technique.

Maximus continued to enjoy sports days at Wootton Primary School, particularly during the 2020–21 academic year. As fortune would have it, an encounter at a local supermarket in 2020 with a member of the local community and sharing his passion for running led to an invitation to join the Northampton Athletic Club once Maximus turned eight.

Following his 8th birthday in 2021, Maximus joined the club and has been training there ever since. As an Under-11 athlete, he competed in several QuadKids athletics events, which included the 75m sprint, 600m run, vortex/howler throw, and long jump.

He also represented Preston Hedges Primary School at the Year 6 Multi Academy Trust Olympics (Y6 MAT Olympics), where he earned four silver medals.

Since 2022, Maximus has taken part in the Northamptonshire County Athletics Championships. He has won silver medals in the 100m sprint (2024, 2025), 150m sprint (2023), and long jump (2025), achieving new personal bests in both the 100m and long jump at the 2025 event.

As a dedicated member of the Northampton Athletic Club team, Maximus also competes in the UK Youth Development League, Premier North/East Division. He has made remarkable progress since joining the club and is now focused on turning some of those silver medals into gold.

Well done on your remarkable achievements thus far, Maximus. We look forward to hearing more of your wonderful sporting successes.

Playing in the second-row position, Charlie trains every Wednesday and takes part in matches most Sundays—whether home fixtures or away games against other local clubs, with occasional travel further afield. His commitment and love for the game have continued to grow throughout the season.

In spring 2024, Charlie joined the NOSRFC Under 13s on their tour to PGL Osmington Bay. The tour ran from Friday to Sunday and proved to be a fantastic team-building experience, helping to strengthen the bond between players both on and off the pitch.

On the Sunday, NOSRFC faced off against several teams, including High Wycombe, Swanage & Wareham, Minchinhampton, and Grasshoppers. The games were intense and physically demanding, but the team gave it their all, ending the day with two draws and two hard-fought losses.

Charlie continues to develop his skills and passion for the sport and is already looking forward to what the next season will bring.

Gracey has been travelling across the country with her talented ponies Ruby and Maggie, achieving remarkable results along the way. She secured impressive 2nd place finishes at both Ascot and Cheltenham, and took 3rd place at Fakenham with Maggie. Adding to her success, she claimed 1st place at Fakenham riding Julian, a Shetland pony from the JPL racing team based in Essex.

Her talent hasn’t gone unnoticed—John Lamb, the owner and trainer of JPL, personally selected Gracey to ride for his team this season, praising her skill and dedication.

Gracey's consistent performance has earned her 2nd place in the national 148cm points league, a phenomenal achievement that has also secured her a spot in the prestigious Racecourse Series—described by the Pony Racing Authority as "our top level of Pony Racing and often a stepping stone for future professional jockeys."

Most recently, on Sunday 11 May, Gracey won Best Turned Out & 2nd place with pony Ruby and 2nd place with pony Maggie at Haydock.

Good luck and well done, Gracey! We can’t wait to see what you achieve next.

Yvie’s love for performing began at the young age of 3 when she started training in dance and musical theatre at Top Hat Theatre School, where she still hones her skills today. At just 7 years old, she made her musical theatre debut as ‘Ivonka’ in Once the Musical at Milton Keynes Theatre—a remarkable achievement for such a young performer!

Her talent was soon recognised once again when she successfully auditioned for the role of Alice in the West End’s Matilda the Musical. She joined the cast in January 2024 and took to the stage for her first performance in March 2024. Her incredible performances led to her being offered a second contract to continue in the role from October 2024.

However, Yvie’s journey didn’t stop there! On 6th March, she received the thrilling news that she had successfully auditioned for a lead role in another major musical. She performed her final show in Matilda on 9th March, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of an exciting new one.
