The Rochdale Schools’ Cross-Country Event was a massive success for Oulder Hill students. Overall, after three weeks of cross country racing, Matthew Greenwood won the Year 8 Boys’ event finishing first in every race. Chloe Davies finished second in the Year 7 Girls’ event finishing second in every race.

Oulder Hill arrived with the largest representation of pupils at the event consistently over the three weeks that the event was held. Well done to all the students who took part in the three weeks of competition.

The Year 7 Boys Football team have qualified for the final stages of the Rochdale Schools’ five-a-side competition. They beat Falinge 4-1, Matthew Moss 9-0 and drew 1-1 with St Anne’s Academy.
