Our inaugural Whole School Sports Day was a huge success. Held at Brickfields Athletics stadium under a blazing sun, there was a super atmosphere. At lunchtime, staff and parents enjoyed a BBQ provided by the Parents’ Association, whilst pupils tucked in to their picnic lunch.
A full day of athletics provided some outstanding sporting success. Vienna Whittaker (U16 Discus), Joshua Thomas-North (U14 300m), Abagael Black (U15 300m), Ella Robinson (U16 300m), Alice Patterson (U14 Discus and 200m), Indie Burrows (U15 Shot), Izzy Page (U14 Triple jump), Ellie Chalk (U15 200m), Megan Bishop (U14 Javelin) and Annabel Denton (U16 800m) all set new school records in their events.
Izzy Page won the Batrick cup for the best triple jump performance of the day. Max Symes won the Sargent Cup for the best long jump performance of the day. The Junior Victor and Victrix Ludorum cups were won by Isaac Stripling (U15 100m) and Annabel Denton (U16 800m). The Senior Victor and Victrix Ludorum cups were won by Max Symes (U19 Long jump) and Emma Schoenborn (U19 800m). In the overall house standings, it was a close affair between Chaytors, Dales and Palmers with just 23 points separating them, but after over 100 events it was Sargents House who won the event with a huge lead of 59 points from second placed Dales. Third were Palmers, with Chaytors just in fourth place.
