Sports Round Up

ESSA Swimming Competition

Our U11 Swimming team travelled over to Sheffield to compete in the final of the ESSA Primary Schools' Team Championships on Saturday.

After getting to grips with the pool and the size of the blocks during the water familiarisation session, the boys competed excellently; swimming a PB in both the medley and the freestyle relay.

An excellent effort from Ashton, Noah, Oscar and Sam, considering the standard and level of swimmers competing from other schools. Well done, boys! TG

Year 6 Bikeability—last week of term

Year 6 parents: when your son is doing Bikeability in the last week of term, he should come into school in his school uniform and bring suitable clothing and shoes for cycling with him. Please bear in mind that it may be wet weather, so a waterproof coat and gloves may be required. If sunny, please send your son with a hat and sun cream. The boys will change prior to taking part in the course and will change back into their uniform before leaving school. The course will take up the majority of the day and, as such, no ipads or swimming kit are required.

Bikes should be brought into school on the morning of your son’s course and placed in the playground. If your son is a coach traveller, we have advised Transport that he will be bringing his bike on the coach on the relevant days, if applicable. Don't forget cycling helmets too. Bikes will be kept in school overnight and can be collected from Park Road at 4pm.

Big Battery Hunt

The Big Battery Hunt is a nationwide programme to help educate and inspire young people to recycle more used batteries. Please send all of your unwanted batteries to school, where we will store them and then take them to our local supermarket for recycling.

There are great prizes to be won for school, including £3500 towards outdoor and garden equipment. SL
