The police are investigating this incident If you have any information or wish to report a simular incident please click here Investigation launched following reports of man approaching girls in Knaphill

Surrey Police is investigating after reports that a man approached two girls in Knaphill and offered them money.

The incident was reported to officers on 5 May from the father of a five-year-old girl who said he had seen her talking to a man in an old-style green vehicle in Nursery Road. He became suspicious and called to his daughter and the man drove off. Officers also received reports of a man in a car with a similar description approaching a five-year-old girl outside the Co-Op supermarket in the High Street around 4pm on 29 April.

The girl said the man, who was driving a dark green vehicle, stopped alongside her and asked if she wanted a pound. She took the money but threw it on the ground because she said it felt plastic.

She described the man as white with a wrinkled face and hands.

Woking Neighbourhood Commander Inspector John Davies said: "Firstly, I would like to reassure the local community that we are aware of these incidents and are investigating to try to establish what has taken place. The Safer Neighbourhood Team is working closely with the local community and has stepped up patrols in the area. We do no have a lot of information at the moment but we would encourage anyone who is approached by a man in a car matching this description to contact police straightaway. Please report any suspicious behaviour to the police on 101 or on 999 if a crime is in progress.”

Year 8 Boys Winston Churchill VS Salesians District Cup Final @ Woking FC

After failing to beat Salesians on three occasions in friendlies and District League fixtures, this was always going to be a tough fixture for the boys.…so we thought!

With a bit of a game plan and the boys all fired up, it did not take long for Winston to put their noses in front after starting with a very high tempo and hunger for wanting the ball. Raess Sher opened the scoring slotting the ball past the Salesians keeper early on to make it 1-0. It was with great satisfaction to see the second goal be poked over the line by Rian Anderson as the boys had been working on set pieces in training. 2-0.

Winston did not take their foot off the gas and continued to cause all sorts of problems for their opposition. Looking very comfortable and still very dangerous in possession the team scored another two goals before half time. Raess Sher adding to his one goal and Carter Alcock opening his account making it 4-0.

Second half the boys were far more relaxed and continued to knock the ball around very well. Salesians got themselves into the game a little more and looked a threat at times though not really testing Jack Kiddy in goal. Xav Brewer, Alfie Day and Sean Evans were taking no prisoners in defence making solid tackles and not putting a foot wrong all game. Not too long into the second half Carter showed great determination to get to goal and scored the next two goals for Winston to make it 6-0 and earn himself a hat-trick!

Jordan Willis and Lewis Carey were very disciplined playing in arguably the most difficult positions on the pitch getting up and down on a very warm afternoon had superb games. Some excellent crosses and tracking back helped keep the visitors at bay. Haroon Masud and captain Chris Pateman dominated and controlled the middle of the pitch with some well-placed passes having a huge part in most of the goals.

Jack Kiddy who played superb in goal made way for Daniel Swords, Jordan Willis also had a breather to give Luke Westerhold a chance to impress. The boys battled but could not prevent Salesians from scoring a consolation goal to make it 6-1.

Louis Eicke and Adam Grainger replaced Sean Evans and Xav Brewer in defence to keep things fresh. Abdullah Al Tawki came on for Carter Alcock and not too soon after making an impact and scoring to put the scoring at 7-1 and the game to bed.   

A superb all round performance from all those involved. Not just in this particular game but throughout the season and palying a part in the team reaching and winning the District Cup Final.

Year 7 Geography

In recent weeks our Year 7 geographers have been set a homework task to create a model showing how layer shading, contour lines and spot heights communicate height on a map.  Throughout the year group we have seen outstanding work including cakes, fired and painted clay and lego in addition to more conventional cardboard and wooden models.

The pictures shows the work of 7CS.

Well done to you all!

Netball Success for Year 10 Girls

Our Year 10 Netball team recently competed in the East of England round of the National Sports College Netball tournament at Copleston High School, Ipswich, after qualifying in the South East Stages before Christmas.  The girls displayed outstanding ball skills, and excellent drive and determination to win in all of their games.  They proudly finished 2^nd and were thrilled to be awarded their well-deserved medals.  This is a fantastic achievement for the Year 10 team competing in an U16 competition.  The girls progress through to the National FINALS at the end of March in Cambridge.
