We hope that all our pupils and parents had an amazing summer and that you are enjoying the last few days of the holidays. School starts for all our pupils on Wednesday, 4th September at 8.45am with form registration, so pupils need to go to their form rooms. Year 7 students need to make their way to the Sports Hall where they will be collected. As always, the photographers will be in on the first day back to take the formal school photos.

With over 1200 pupils involved in over a choice of nearly 40 activities, our recent Sports Festival proved once again to be a busy and brilliant opportunity for pupils to get absorbed in all things sporty. Activities on offer included: Archery, badminton, basketball, boules, bowling, boxing, Brazilian Jujitsu, Boccia, capture the flag, cricket nets, cross-country, dodgeball, dance-cheerleading, darts, DESA football, dodgeball, goalball, golf, handball, hockey, karate, kickboxing, kuk sool, netball, rowing, silly races, softball, table tennis, taekwondo, tag archery, tag American football, tag rugby, tennis, ultimate Frisbee, volleyball, yoga, and zumba. As in the last few years, pupils chose three of the above that they would like to participate in. The rest of the day was spent participating in our competitive, traditional sports day where the track races take place. Pupils competed in 100m, 200m, 400, 800m, hurdles and 4 x 100 relay. All were out to win, all received points for their houses. Anyone not involved cheered on the competitors from their houses. As always the atmosphere this year was electric! As always taking centre stage, and eagerly anticipated was the staff relay! The field events were completed on an earlier date. Additional points were also gained for houses through our Performer of the Activity scoring system. After each session the Activity Leader ranked five people who they felt has performed to their best. These were then added to the race results. We’re often kept in suspense as to who are the overall winners as it takes time to tally the points. This year it was the turn of KETT House to raise the trophy. Congratulations to them. We would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all pupils and staff involved. It is an immense, full on day, and its success wouldn’t be possible without everyone working together.
