Sports Day

It was with great pleasure that I set up for Sports Day this year after 4 years of disruption due to Covid and the great British weather! The children were all well prepared and excited to compete for the Athletics House Cup. It was clear from the start that after such successful trips to both Senior and Junior Wessex that the level of competition was going to be high. The weather conditions were perfect (although not for the picnic lunch!) and school records were broken throughout the day. Freddie Corrie smashed the Year 4 long jump with a leap of 4.06m. Charlotte Carnegie, Claudia Davies and Virginia Manners all broke records on the track and over in the discus Sophia Bryant did a magnificent throw of 17.91m to earn her title.

Savannah Wolseley Brinton also broke a school record for the Year 5 girls rounders ball throw at Junior Wessex with 36.65m. Congratulations to Ebble who won the House Cup and to Will Fuller and Virginia Manners on becoming the Victor and Victrix Ludorum.

There were many personal bests and the highlight for me was watching the relay teams storm around the track with their fellow house members cheering them on.

A huge well done to all the children and thank you to Mr Darral Wilcox and his team for making the track and grounds look exceptional as always.
