1st - White, 2nd - Blue, 3rd - Red

Sports Day is always a much enjoyed event by pupils, parents and staff and this year was no exception! With all events taking place on the bottom field, it was a great spectacle with pupils aged 2-13 competing in their respective events. It was lovely to see so many families picnicking together and supporting the children.  

Competition was as close as ever, whether it was jumping in a sack, throwing the javelin or running over hurdles. WIth a plethora of events on show,  the crowd could not be disappointed!  

Pupils enjoyed the ice-lolly stall, organised by our Netherlands Touring Squad, whilst the adults got their morning caffeine fix from the coffee van.

Over the course of the day, pupils were congratulated on our podium with participation medals for pre-prep and Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for those achieving 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.  

Outstanding performances came from our Athletics Captain, Florence Lilly, who broke two long standing school records (Senior Girls 800m and Long Jump) and India Buitelaar-Warden who broke the Intermediate Girls Javelin. 

Also impressive was the number of prep school pupils who achieved a personal best performance in their chosen events. They have been working hard over the term in an attempt to reach specific distances/times in order to achieve a Bronze, Silver or Gold Award for the English Schools Athletics Award Scheme. Well done to all competitors.
