SFSS Cross Country Race 2 at the Bole Hills in Crookes tomorrow has been cancelled. Please spread the word to avoid runners having a wasted trip in the morning. Thank you.

Full communication from the race organisers below:

It is with real regret that we have to let you know that tomorrow’s cross-country meeting at Bole Hills Park, Crookes, has been cancelled.

Unfortunately, due to illness amongst the organising team, we have had to make this decision at very short notice. We felt it was important to make the call this evening, rather than leave it until the morning, so that no families or staff make the journey to the park only to find the event isn’t going ahead.

We know how much the children look forward to these races, and how much effort they, their families and their schools put in to take part. We are truly sorry that they will miss out on running tomorrow. Please be assured this was not a decision we took lightly, but on this occasion nothing could be done.

Please help us spread the word. As this is such short notice, we would be very grateful if you could pass this message on as widely as possible – to colleagues in other schools, through your school’s parent communications, class WhatsApp groups, social media pages and any other channels you use. The more people who see this tonight, the fewer will have a wasted trip in the morning.

Next race: We very much look forward to seeing all the children back for the next race on Saturday 10th October 2026 at Parkwood Springs. Further details will follow as usual.

Thank you for your understanding and support – and apologies once again for the disappointment and inconvenience.

It’s National Sporting Heritage Day, and we have almost 100 years of incredible sporting heritage to look back on here at Mylnhurst!
We dusted off the albums in the archives to find photos of our 1st XI Hockey team in 1939, our Sports Day of 1948, and the opening of our old swimming pool in 1967 - and we even roped in our co-Head of Sport Mrs Buchanan to try replicating a couple of the images!
From bicycle races to ballet poses, sport has always been high on the agenda at Mylnhurst - a tradition cemented by our Small School of the Year for Outstanding Sport win at the ISA Awards.

Special assembly time this morning - as our new Prep 6 House Captains introduced themselves to the school!

We run a vertical House system at Mylnhurst, with every child placed (sadly no sorting hat) into one of four House teams.

Blake is named after Major William Blake who built Mylnhurst as a grand house for his family in 1893.

Walsh is named after the famous Sheffield department store family who lived in Mylnhurst after the Blakes, before it was turned into a school.

McAuley is named after the founder of the order of nuns of the Sisters of Mercy, Catherine McAuley. The Sisters bought the house in 1933 and opened it up as a convent school.

Gerard is named after Sister Gerard, the much loved headmistress who served the school for 26 years and was Head from 1973-1986.

Our new House captains are looking forward to leading their Houses across the year - from voting in and fundraising for our four new House charities, to wearing their colours with pride for inter-House competitions like the Mylnhurst Mile, Mylnhurst’s Got Talent and, of course, Sports Day!

The season of mists and mellow fruitfulness is upon us - and Mylnhurst is looking stunning this morning.
We have lots to look forward to today - our Reception class have a real life dentist dropping in this morning to share some all-important brushing tips, it’s cottage pie on the menu for lunch, we have hockey and rugby fixtures this afternoon, and after school sees the return of our marvellous Marathon Club!
Have a lovely day.
