Sports Day 2014

Sports Day took place on Wednesday, 2nd July 2014. The weather was absolutely glorious, and a very successful and enjoyable day was had by all. The competition was very close going into the event as a result of an excellent level of participation from all Houses in their Heats.

Ultimately, Kilby were victorious overall (pushed hard by Somerville) and see their House engraved on the trophy for the third time since the introduction of our House system. Congratulations and very well done to everyone in Kilby.

A number of Sports Day records were broken and a few students came extremely close to breaking even more records. Massive congratulations go to:
