The sun shone for our Senior Sports Day on Friday, when athletes from Form 1 through to Upper Sixth took part in track and field events, competing in their houses and as individuals. Pupils volunteered to take part in events including Javelin, Shotput, Discus, Long Jump, High Jump and various track races - with almost every pupil taking part in something.
This event was held earlier in the year than usual, so that our Form 5 and Upper 6 pupils could take part ahead of their GCSE and A-Level exams and it was fantastic to see both our top sportsmen and women, as well as those that don't find athletics so easy, taking part with determination and enthusiasm - really well done to everyone. A special mention goes to Achilles in Lower 6 who ran the 100m in an incredibly speedy 11.06 seconds - very nearly beating his PB of 11.05!
Congratulations to Pollard House who won the cup! Thorne were in second place, Ruddle in third and Way in fourth. Victor Ludorum and Vixtrix Ludorum cup winners to be announced soon.
