U15 Emberton Cup Winners!!
The Year 10 football team played St James Catholic High School in the final of the Cheshire Cup on Wednesday 26th April at Middlewich Town FC.
In sunny conditions the spectators turned out in big numbers to watch both sides compete for the prestigious Cheshire Cup. St Nicholas started the game well and dominated possession in the first 20 minutes. Unable to find a breakthrough, St James worked their way back into the game and had a few chances of their own. 0-0 at half time, it was going to be a close game with both sides struggling to create a clear opportunity. Early in the second half it was St James who managed to get through the defence and make it 1-0. St Nicholas reacted well and showed their character once again and with less than 10 minutes to go made it 1-1. Penalties it was! Finlay made a great save in the St Nicholas goal and it was down to the final penalty. Pedro calmly stepped up and placed the ball in the corner to win the Cheshire Cup for St Nicholas. This a phenomenal achievement and the boys should be proud of themselves.

Six Year 12 Chemistry students returned to TATA Chemicals Ltd to present their Carbon Footprint project. They were challenged to find out what our school’s carbon footprint is and to come up with ways to decrease it in order to help reduce the effect of climate change on the planet. They worked hard together as a group to prepare, and they delivered an excellent presentation in front of a panel of experts which included the MD of TATA Chemicals Ltd. They received lots of praise for their effort and presentation skills. The panel was impressed with their innovative ideas and our students have been encouraged to try to get some of these ideas implemented in our school. Congratulations to Wiktoria Dziobak, Anthony Hopley, Angelin Jim, Adarsh Joju, Joren Law and Richie Priestley.
