This Sports Day is a wonderful way to cap off an amazing year of athletics. We have witnessed incredible performances, record-breaking achievements, and a continuous display of commitment from our athletes. Most notably, our Y7/8 athletics squad were ranked just outside the top 10 nationally and many will travel to Birmingham tomorrow for the National Prep Athletics Finals.

Outside of athletics, it has been a brilliant year of sport across the entire sports programme. From netball and hockey to gymnastics and cricket, our athletes have demonstrated outstanding talent, teamwork, and dedication.
