Sports Day 2011
This year it was decided to take a different approach to Sports Day. The infants, with the kind assistance of the Parents’ Association, had their own games. The other classes formed teams with a pupil from each class on each team. Each activity took place at a numbered station and every class visited every station. The scores were recorded on a large grid and nobody knew who the winners would be until the scores were tallied. This added some excitement to the day and everybody enjoyed the variety of new activities such as wellie boot throwing, skipping and basketball passing as well as the old favourites such as egg and spoon and relay.

Sports Day 2009
The Sports day 2009 was a great success - students ran fast and fun races and the disciplines included potatoe and spoon race, three legged race, holiday race and the slow bicycle race.
