Sports Week
A massive thank you to all the staff that did an amazing job to make sports week a success this year. We had GB athletes Chad Miller and Vanessa Wallace visit on Monday which was inspiring for our children. Our staff, Kick London and The Sport and Health Academy delivered a massive range of sports including Gaelic football, Capoeira, dodgeball, archery, rounders, golden child, boules, line dancing, netball and athletics. We hope the children had a great week which finished with sports day on Friday.

Sports day was a great day of inclusive events for our children with all children showing amazing sportsmanship and determination throughout the day. We hope all the parents that attended had a great day and thank you to all the parents that were brave enough to take part and entertain our children at the end. We finished the day by celebrating all the children that participated and won medals or the Winkworth balls for going above and beyond during sports week. We also crowned Viewfield as our house winners for athletics as they scored the most points across the school for the day.
