The major house competition of the Summer 2 term was House Sports Day at the Linford Christie Stadium on Wednesday 14th July. Students from Years 7 to Year 12 competed across individual track and field events, with points accumulating for an overall total across the day, with 20,000 house points up for grabs for the winners. The sun was shining throughout the day as students enjoyed a fun filled day of participating in athletics, spectating, and dancing to the Macarena, as well as students breaking 9 KAA student records! It was without a doubt our best Sports Day to date and a well deserved day of celebrations for our students. A full list of our new record holders is provided here - this included numerous students breaking the record for the 800 metres and long jump for their year group. Congratulations to Indigo (8 Franklin 2), Pol (8 Pankhurst 2), Alexis (9 Pankhurst 2), Ressa (9 Franklin 2), Gustav (9 Angelou 2), Xavier (7 Kassovitz), Walid (8 Honeyball 1), Mohamed (9 Honeyball 1) and Aaliyah (10 Jume) on securing a place in the KAA history books! After every event result was tallied, students and staff waited in anticipation for the final result, which would tip the balance on the final standings for the 2020-21 house cup. The final scores were incredibly close, with Angelou taking first place ahead of Franklin by just 31 points meaning Angelou students lifted the Sports Day Cup for the first time in the school’s history - to much delight! Our huge thanks to Ms Thompson and the PE department for their hard work organising such a fantastic Sports Day, and to the students for participating with enthusiasm throughout the day.
