It was touch and go as to whether our annual Sports Day on Monday 10th June was going to go ahead, due to heavy rain overnight and showers forecast. Thankfully, the breezy conditions dried the grass track and the event went ahead as planned.

All students in the Junior Section competed in a range of traditional athletics events which included a mixture of track and  field events along with fun events such as egg and spoon, skipping, sack and an obstacle race. The weather was cold and blustery, but the main thing was that the rain held off! 

Despite the unfavourable weather conditions, all students performed to a high standard and there was a real feeling of support and encouragement throughout the day. 

Two existing Sports Day records were broken – Kavishna in Year 3 hurdles and Nelly in Year 4 hurdles. An incredible 35 different students across the four year groups won a gold medal!

After the introduction and success of  sustainable wooden medals last year, these were updated and presented for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, in addition to stickers galore and cups for each competitor who won their event.

It was a wonderful day to be a part of, well done to all students who competed. A big thank you to all family and friends who joined us to cheer on our students from the sidelines, it made for a great atmosphere.
