2023 Sports Day

For the first time since 2019, Sports Day was once again a whole school event, providing a welcome opportunity for all of our pupils and their families to come together for this special occasion. As in prior years, pupils participated in a variety of athletic challenges based on their year group, including Shot Put, Nerf Ball Throw, Long Jump, High Jump, Discus and Javelin. Races were a highlight throughout the day—in particular the return of the Beach Race for Infants—and the final relay races for each year group were,  as in prior years an exciting test of speed and teamwork. After the games were over, families relaxed together over a picnic lunch, followed by shared puddings. Through our Sports programme, we want our pupils to experience and enjoy teamwork, to play hard, to play with respect and to carry themselves well.

Although Sports Day is a competitive event, we are always proud of the good sportsmanship shown by our pupils, as they support and cheer one another on for each competition. The results from Sports Day (shown below) have now been added to our ‘House Shield’ table, which includes all of the inter-house competitions played throughout the school year. Each house earns 25 points for winning a competition, 15 points for second place, 10 for third and 5 for fourth. The Blue team achieved victory as the overall champions (429 points), followed by Green (305), Yellow (296.5) and Red (234). The full table of House Shield results is shown below.
