Redden Court School pupils have been celebrating a hat-trick of football titles recently.
The year eight squad beat Hall Mead on penalties in their semi-final and saw off Emerson Park 2-1 in the final.
“I’m extremely proud of the hard work the boys have put and the time they have sacrificed in training and preparing to become champions of Havering,” said PE teacher Ashley Parmenter.
“To go unbeaten all season is a fantastic achievement. This was the boys first season together as a team and what a season it was.”

The year nine squad lifted the school’s first Essex Cup in 51 years as their final with Great Baddow ended 2-2 after extra time and they won 4-2 on penalties.
Head of PE Tom Hughes said: “I’ve been very fortunate to be involved in some fantastic teams over the last 13 years of teaching, where teams have gone on to win national and international honours.
“But this was one of the proudest days I’ve had in education. I am so proud of these boys and the way they performed.

Hughes added: “I honestly couldn’t be more proud of the boys involved in these squads. Not only the students that have represented and competed in the teams, but all students that attended training all year, before, during and after school.
“Our motto within PE is ‘pursue excellence and success will follow’ and that is certainly what our boys have done over the last two weeks.”
