Sports Day 2026
Senior Sports Day 2026 was truly a remarkable occasion, marked by an inspiring atmosphere of camaraderie, sportsmanship, and resilience from start to finish. The event brought together students from Years 7 through 10, all of whom embraced the opportunity to represent their houses with pride, determination, and enthusiasm.
The day featured an impressive programme of competition, including 46 track events and 10 field events, offering every athlete a chance to showcase their skills. From sprint races and middle-distance runs to long jump, shot put, and high jump, the breadth of activities ensured a vibrant and engaging experience for both participants and spectators.
One of the highlights of the day was the House Captain Relay race, which added a sense of fun and excitement to the schedule. This event encapsulated the spirit of the day perfectly, as House Captains led by example, demonstrating teamwork, leadership, and good humour while energising the crowd.
Throughout the day, there were countless moments that embodied true resilience. Several girls experienced setbacks during races—tripping or falling unexpectedly—but what stood out most was their determination to persevere. Rather than giving up, they showed incredible grit by getting back on their feet and pushing through to cross the finish line. These moments were a powerful reminder that success is not only measured by results, but also by courage and character.
The overall conduct of all participants was exemplary. Students demonstrated mutual respect, cheered each other on, and upheld the values of fair play. The sense of unity across year groups and houses made the day even more special, reinforcing the positive culture within the school community.
As a first experience of Senior Sports Day, it could not have been more memorable. The organisation, participation, and atmosphere all contributed to what can only be described as a brilliant day. It was a celebration not just of athletic achievement, but of teamwork, perseverance, and school spirit.
Well done to Annabelle L – Year 10 and Emily L- Year 8 who were award the Victrix Ladorum and to the Winning House Montaigne.
Senior Sports Day 2026 will undoubtedly be remembered as a highlight of the school year—an event that showcased the very best of our students.
