Sports Day is always a standout event in our school calendar – and this year was no exception!
Starting with our Pre-Prep sports day, our youngest athletes took to the Victoria Field and supported by our Year 6 pupils, demonstrated their very best running, jumping and throwing skills. The weather just about held out for the event and we were delighted to welcome so many family members to observe their children. Our Pre-Prep pupils were fantastic and did their loved ones and teachers very proud.
Our Prep pupils had a great day on Stubbs Field for their sports day. With records broken, lots of medals awarded and most importantly smiles galore, our pupils gave an excellent representation of themselves. With both track and field events, each of our pupils had a chance to shine in front of a packed parent audience and supportive peer groups. Mrs Thomson, Head of Prep, awarded medals and awards to our winning house. The sun was shining, the atmosphere was electric and each pupil tried their very best.
Finally, our Senior School and Lower Sixth Form students had their chance to shine on Stubbs Field. On one of the hottest days of the year, our students competed excellently and did themselves proud! In similar fashion to the Prep School sports day, our students had the opportunity to compete in track and field events and numerous records were broken throughout the day! From Hurdles and Relay, to Shot Put and Long Jump, our students were all competing for their School houses and Headteacher Mr Getty was delighted to announce Barratt as the winning house of the 2025 sports day!
A stand-out takeaway from all of our sports days is the excellent attitudes of our pupils. From Pre-Prep through to our Lower Sixth Form, our pupils demonstrated sportsmanship cheering on for each other and congratulating their peers after each event.
Well done to every pupil who took part in this year’s sports days!
