Teacher Miss Dooley of Year 2 Elder Class said students had been "a little deflated" following the game.
"The results were perhaps not what we hoped for but Elder class reflected on the football teams' achievements to reach the final.
"We wrote letters of support and praise to the football team players celebrating that they had represented England in a fantastic way and to not feel disappointed. We related these lessons to our own lives."
