Our second Sports Day in our 6 new Houses, took place on Wednesday 3rd July 2024 and what a fantastic and fun day it turned out to be. The weather was a little overcast in the afternoon with a little rain, but this did not affect the Relay Competition and there was lots of cheering and support for those participating from all the Houses. The inclusion once again, of our popular Multi Games, made the day very successful and completely inclusive and was enjoyed by students and staff alike. There was a definite increase in the numbers of students participating with huge positivity and teamwork throughout the day, especially evident during Relay Competition. 

The competition was very close throughout the day, especially going into the Relay Finals in the afternoon, because of the excellent levels of participation from all six of our Houses in the Multi Games. Students also secured points for their House from their participation during PE lessons where they recorded results for recording results in Athletic events (2 points per event) and those students who represented the school in our Athletics, Rounders and Cricket Teams in extracurricular, also secured points (10 per match). 

The afternoon’s proceedings were opened by Mr Walker and our wonderful Samba Band and there was a flurry of excitement and activity, as all Houses worked together to ensure they entered the maximum number of Relay teams in each year group. Every team tried their very best to win, supported loudly and enthusiastically by all six Houses. 

It was truly fantastic to see everyone working together, to celebrate together as a whole school and to hear the cheers and roars of enjoyment from the crowd, as they encouraged their runners throughout the whole afternoon. Sadly, we ran out of time to include our very competitive staff relay but hopefully next year it will definitely be back. 

Many congratulations to Ruby House, who are the second worthy winners of our prestigious Sports Day Cup, as six Houses. 

The Physical Education Department would like to thank all the students and all of the staff involved, without whom, we could not have run such a fabulous whole school event. Special thanks go to the Site Team and the PE Department for all their hard work in the preparation and delivery of the day. We are already looking forward to a bigger and better Sports Day 2025!
