Olympic Sports Day

 

For the first time pupils from Year Three through to Year Ten competed on the same day in our Olympic Sports Day bringing together nearly 300 competitors.

The morning session saw the completion of the field events and here four school records were broken. Congratulations to Alex Knight – Year 7/8 Boys Long Jump; Henry Wilson – Year 9/10 Boys Long Jump; Sam Hudson Year 9/10 Boys Javelin; and Angharad Jenkins Year 9/10 Girls Javelin.

During the afternoon a total of sixty running races took place with the whole day culminating in an exciting and muscle straining Tug of War that saw Fawcett taking that honour.

Three trophies were awarded and all in the winning house received medals. Individual shields for those pupils who showed outstanding determination were also presented.
