Debden Park High School girls were celebrating after three of the school’s netball teams won their leagues.

The Year 8, Year 9 and Under-16 teams all topped the West Essex District Leagues in their age groups and will now advance to a series of play-offs against Harlow schools.

The Under-16s team are no strangers to success, also claiming last season’s title while competing in the Year 9 age group.

Head of PE Jen Perry said: “We cannot express the dedication and commitment we have seen from all of our netballers and the standard that has been reached by them.

"In numerous matches our students have played exceptionally well, maintaining a high goal difference.

"This is a fantastic achievement and the netballers are an absolute credit to our school."
