We celebrated an exciting and enjoyable Sports Day which was punctuated by only a few spots of rain. I was impressed by how sporting both the competitors and the spectators were and how supportive Houses were for those taking part.
Our Sports Leaders under the direction of Mrs Dani Harris helped to supervise and direct the activities all of which ran impressively to time. My thanks to all the Sports staff and in particular Mr Dave Thomas who was presented with a gift of a mounted collage of pictures to mark his retirement this term.
