Parents / carers are encouraged to stay in the designated area in the playground, and to allow parents of running classes to move forward to the fence line to watch their child race.

After all the pupils (and hopefully some parents?) have taken part in their races, children will return to class.
Parents can collect their child early, as we will set up designated class collection points at the front entrance to the school. Staff will takes names of children in each class being collected early and sign them out before they leave for the weekend.
There is a chance of showers forecast for our sports day, but hopefully that won’t dampen our spirits!!
