With the exciting commencement of the new school build, Sports Day looked slightly different this year but we still saw an impressive amount of sporting talent, commitment and enthusiasm over all of the afternoons. During period 4 on Sports Day, students competed in an athletics event or an interform netball competition before moving onto a rounders competition during period 5. Students could also participate in non-sporting roles like being a photographer, journalist or form banner creator to gain points for their form. We saw lots of magic moments across all the Sports Day’s; lots of wish we have captured in the pictures in this newsletter taken by our own budding photographers.
