A big thanks to Mr Conway at King Edward Handsworth Boys School for organising the league again this year.

Aston Villa Foundation staff spoke to the young people about careers in sport before Warwickshire Cricket Foundation put them through their paces in a cricket masterclass session. We were then treated to a stadium tour around the ground, where we found out what careers were available at the club.

We done to all the young people that took part - we were really impressed by the development of your leadership skills! A big thanks to the Aston Villa Foundation staff, Warwickshire Cricket Foundation and Dianne, our stadium tour guide!

Congratulations to Handsworth Boys who won the event, meaning that they complete the table tennis double, with the KS4 boys winning earlier in the month!

Congratulations to all the girls who earned their School Games respect badges and to our first time winners, Windsor Olympus! A big thanks to the staff at Prince Albert High School for hosting both events.

A big thanks to our juding panel; Lauren from Sport Birmingham, Chris from the Active Society and Charley from KDDK Dance. Also a huge thanks to our Student Judge Panel from St. Paul's Girls School. You all showed great empathy, maturity and enthusiam in your feedback. THANK YOU!

Congratulations to our winning act from Hamstead Hall who progress on to our county finals at the Hippodrome.

The vision of the programme is to support working class boys to increase their physical activity, improve their mental health and wellbeing and unlock their potential.

Despite snow all day, all the games were played in a great spirit, with schools representing a country playing in this years' women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. After a very close first round stage, the four teams who won their groups progressed to the semi-finals. In the primary event, the bronze medals were shared between King Solomon International Business school and Mansfield Green Primary. In the gold medal match, Paget Primary overcame Conway Primary to win the title of the Biggest Ever Primary Football Session Champions 2023.

As the snow continued to fall, 20 secondary schools competed in 4 different pools. George Dixon Academy, King Edward Handsworth Girls, Holy Trinity and Washwood Heath all won their groups and headed into the semi-finals. In the bronze medal match, King Edward Handsworth Girls and Washwood Heath shared the bronze medals, with George Dixon Academy pipping Holy Trinity to the gold medals.

All the matches across the day were played in a great spirit, with some exciting talent on the pitch. Well done to all the girls who took part and a big thanks to the FA, Sport Birmingham, our referees, Aston Villa FC, young leaders from Hall Green School and to all the staff who supported the event. Highlights were shown on ITV Central news as well as live radio interviews with some of the staff and girls at the event. A future case study will be produced by the FA and Youth Sport Trust in due course. Across the country, 285,000 girls took part in the Biggest Ever Football Session - enough to fill Wembley Stadium three times over!
