On Tuesday, June 25th, we will have our Key Stage 1 & 2 Sports Day, followed by our Reception Sports Day on Wednesday, June 26th, from 9am to 10am

Can all children into school in their school PE kit on respective days. All children will also need to wear a hat, a water bottle and wear sun cream.

The KS1 & 2 Sports Day timings are as follows:

πŸ‘‰ Years 1, 2, 3 - 9.30am-11.00am

πŸ‘‰ Years 4, 5, 6 - 1.00pm-2.30pm

We encourage fun participation while managing the competitive spirit at our events. Your support and cheers for all the children are greatly appreciated. However, please keep in mind that some children find activities like sports days overwhelming, especially with a large audience.

Additionally, some children may not have a grown-up present to support them on these days. For this reason, we remind you that all children remain in our care during the events. While cheering and encouraging the children is encouraged, we ask that you refrain from calling them over to you. It is crucial for the safety and organisation of the event that all children stay with their group.

Thank you for respecting our guidelines and helping us create a safe and enjoyable environment for all participants.
