🌞 Sports Day Success! 🏃♀️🏅
What a fantastic day we had for our Sports Day! After weeks of unpredictable weather, we were so lucky to have a beautiful, sunny day to enjoy all the action outdoors.
It was wonderful to see such a brilliant turnout of families and friends – thank you so much for coming along to support the children and cheer them on! 💙
The pupils were absolutely amazing. Their sportsmanship, resilience, and perseverance throughout the day were inspiring to watch. Whether they were racing, throwing, skipping or encouraging others, every child gave it their all – well done to every single one of you! 👏👏👏
A huge thank you to all of our helpers and volunteers – we couldn’t have done it without you. Your support made the day run smoothly and ensured it was a great success for everyone involved.
The house points from Sports Day will now be totalled, and the winning house will be announced at our upcoming Celebration of Success assembly – along with all of our other exciting end-of-year awards! We can’t wait! 🥳🏆
