High jump in action

Sports Day was held on Tuesday 24th April 2018 and despite the weather having turned quite wintery recently, we had an afternoon of glorious sunshine. We had a good attendance from the community who were a great audience, cheering on the children.

Ready for the off

Key Stage 1 competed in a standing throw, a standing jump, a 30m sprint and a 60m sprint. Points were awarded for children who had beaten their personal best and for how well they performed. Key Stage 2 and Secondary competed in high jump, throwing the cricket ball, 100m sprint, 400m sprint and 800m. Javelin and long-jump had been completed prior to Sports Day and the results from these events were included.

Throwing the tennis ball

After tallying up all the points, 'Inaccessible' house were the winners but all the children performed fantastically and enjoyed showing what they could for their friends and family.
