Sports Day 2018
Best. Sports Day. Ever.
Friday 29th June was given over completely to a festival of sport and inter-house competition on the Academy playing fields. Students got into House spirit with face-paint, flags and industrial quantities of glitter, cheering on the competitors in track and field events throughout the day. The newly-introduced inter-House tug-of-war was a great addition to the programme!
Nine school records fell, some of which had stood since the 1980s. Congratulations to the following new school record holders:
- Morrison Page (Windsor) - Year 8 boys' hurdles (12.91s)
