Please read to find details of this year’s Sports Festival. This whole school event is not only a celebration of the achievements of our most talented athletes, but more importantly an opportunity for all students to take part and enjoy a celebratory day and gain points for their House team; Austin, Boulton, Cadbury or Tolkien. Alongside the main field and athletics events there will be opportunities for all students to enjoy an inflatables obstacle course and some races just for fun!
It is going to be held on Tuesday 8th July between 11.20am and 3.00 pm. Students should arrive to school at the usual time of 08.30am and will have their normal timetabled lessons for periods 1 and 2.
Students are permitted to come to school in P.E. kit and stay in it for the day, alternatively they can wear their usual school uniform. Tracksuits or hoodies are not allowed, only items of school uniform to maintain our high standards. We do recommend that students are prepared for all weather conditions so they will also need sunscreen, plenty of water and a sun hat. Alternatively, a school jumper or blazer for warmth if the weather is not so good. A reminder too, any necessary medication such as an inhaler should be brought to school.
The school restaurant will be serving BBQ-style food at lunchtime as a special treat, and we have also invited in an ice-cream van. If students would like to purchase an ice-cream, they will need to bring in some money on the day.
Staff and students are very much looking forward to this whole school event and to having the opportunity to spend the day as a tutor group team, working together, encouraging each other and contributing to their House. We hope that they all have a fun and rewarding day.
