Wynstream’s Dodgeball Stars Advance to National Finals for Third Year Running

Wynstream Primary School in Exeter, part of Education South West, is celebrating a remarkable sporting achievement as its Under 11 Dodgeball team progressed to the National Finals for the third consecutive year, this time achieving their highest-ever finish at the regional stage with a runner-up position.

The team stormed through the group stage with an unbeaten 100% record, winning all five matches to top their group. They then overcame Montgomery in the semi-finals, a team they had never beaten before, in a thrilling match that secured them a place in the final.

Although their winning streak came to an end with a narrow loss in the final, the team’s performance was nothing short of exceptional and secured them a well-deserved place at the National Finals in Stoke-on-Trent on Friday 4th July.

The proud squad, Tymon, Finley, Szymon, Raf, Alfie, Ava, Izzy, Destiny and Maja, have written their names into Wynstream history.

Elise Redman, Headteacher at Wynstream Primary School, said:

“We are beyond proud of our U11 Dodgeball team. Their determination, teamwork, and resilience are an inspiration to everyone at Wynstream. This is not just a sporting milestone, but a moment of real school pride. We can’t wait to support them at the National Finals.”

Matthew Shanks, CEO of Education South West, said:

“To reach the National Finals three years in a row is an incredible achievement and to improve your finish each time shows the power of perseverance and team spirit. These pupils are excellent ambassadors for their school and our trust. We’ll be cheering them on every step of the way in Stoke.”
