    A huge well done to all the netballers in year 7&8, who represented James Bateman at a netball fixture in the new netball centre at Newcastle under Lyme School this evening. They displayed great teamwork and determination, and we are very proud of you! We look forward to seeing how the year 7's progress next season and wish our year 8s lots of netball success, during their time at Biddulph High School next year!
