Sports Day

One of the absolute highlights of the week was Sports Day, and what an incredible day it was! The children truly outdid themselves—not only with their athletic efforts but in demonstrating the school’s values of respect, perseverance and teamwork. From the sprints to the relays, it was a celebration of energy and encouragement, with plenty of smiles and cheers all round. A heartfelt thank you to all the families who came along to support; your presence and enthusiasm were so appreciated and added to the special atmosphere.

The results of the day were as follows:

  • Ruby – 133 points
  • Amethyst – 123 points
  • Emerald – 114 points
  • Sapphire – 113 points

Congratulations to Team Ruby, who were this year’s champions! A special shout-out to Beth and Ellis, our wonderful Year 6 house captains, whose pride and excitement as they ran the victory lap with their trophy was a lovely sight. Thank you also to those of you who wrote to the school to share your experience of Sports Day—we’re so pleased you had such a fantastic time.
