Prep Sports Board July 10th

Infant Sports Day was a tremendous success, with all the children from Caterpillars through to Year 2 enjoying a fantastic day of competition, teamwork and sporting achievement.

The boys and girls demonstrated great enthusiasm, determination and sportsmanship throughout the event, proudly representing their houses and achieving some excellent results. Every child should be extremely proud of their efforts and the positive attitude they showed on the day.

There were many outstanding performances across the different events, with several children producing exceptional results and even setting new school records.
A special congratulations goes to Helena in Year 1, who broke the record for the Longest Ball Throw and also set a new Sprint Record, an incredible achievement. Congratulations also to Lottie in Year 2, who established a new record in the Javelin Throw with an outstanding performance.

These achievements were highlights of a day filled with energy, excitement and memorable moments. Most importantly, every child participated with enthusiasm and gave their very best effort.

Well done to all the boys and girls who took part and contributed valuable points for their houses. Thank you to the staff, parents and supporters who helped make the day such a success. We look forward to another fantastic Sports Day next year.

Swim, Laser Shoot and Run Event

We were delighted to host our first-ever Swim, Laser Shoot and Run Event in partnership with Cleves School, providing an exciting and unique sporting opportunity for girls in Years 4–6.

Participants were challenged across three disciplines. They first completed either a 50m or 100m swim, before moving on to the laser shooting station, where they had 50 seconds to hit five targets. The final stage saw the girls complete a 600m run, testing their endurance and determination after the precision required for the shooting element.

The event was a fantastic success, with all participants demonstrating excellent effort, resilience and enthusiasm throughout. The children particularly enjoyed the laser shooting aspect, which was a new experience for many of them. It added an exciting dimension to the competition and encouraged the girls to develop focus and accuracy under pressure.

It was wonderful to see the pupils supporting one another, embracing the challenge and representing their schools so positively. The feedback from both students and staff was extremely positive, and the enjoyment shown by all involved highlighted the value of introducing new and varied sporting experiences.

Following the success of this inaugural event, we are excited to explore opportunities to expand the shooting element in future competitions and continue developing this partnership with Cleves School. We look forward to building on this successful first event and providing even more opportunities for our pupils to experience this growing sport.

The event began with a challenging swim in the pool before competitors made a swift transition into their trainers and House colours for the running stage. Every participant gave their all, demonstrating resilience, teamwork and outstanding House spirit from start to finish.

It was fantastic to see so many girls embracing the challenge, encouraging one another and representing their Houses with such pride. Their energy and commitment made for a truly memorable event.
