What an incredible day! Sports Day 2025 was a huge success, filled with energy, enthusiasm, and amazing displays of teamwork and sportsmanship. From the first whistle to the final race, every student gave their best, cheered their loudest, and showed what true spirit looks like. A massive thank you to all the participants, teachers, volunteers, and supporters who made the day so special. And of course, congratulations to all our winners, but even more so to everyone who showed up, tried their hardest, and had fun.

Today's Maths PE Day put our measuring, timing, and calculating skills to the test! Students ran, jumped, and threw, then worked out their times, distances, and scores using real-life maths. From stopwatches to score sheets, we proved that numbers are everywhere in sport. Great teamwork, great effort, and some speedy calculations too!
