The U15 Cricket squad also played on the same day and with 3 of their County players not available to play it was unsure how well the team may do in their County Cup semi-final away to Aldridge school in Walsall. The team bowled the home team out for 88 and then hit 89 runs off 11 overs and won the semi-final with wickets and 9 overs to spare. They now await a County Cup final to be played we believe on the 7th July venue, opponents and time TBC. This is only the 2nd time a Clayton team has made a County Final in Cricket so a great achievement.![]()

The big battery hunt is back. This year Clayton's eco committee has signed up to try and collect as many batteries as possible to prevent them going to landfill. Ask your family, friends, neighbours and local community if they have any they can give you. Simply bring them to Miss White in room 19 and she will take care of the rest. It is so easy for you to get involved and you'll be making the world a little greener in the process!
