At Crescent, Sports Day isn’t just about the competition, it is also all about the participation. On the day every child takes part and, most importantly, every child has fun. As is always the case the children’s behaviour was impeccable, they offered support and encouragement to each other and congratulated and commiserated with good heart. True Olympic spirit on show all round.

At the end of a very busy morning, Mr Thackway was delighted to announce the House results and to present the trophies. It was a very close affair decided only on the last relay races.
Years 3 and 4 Overall - St Andrew’s House

A big thank you to all of the staff involved in organising and running the event, both from the Crescent and from the Princethorpe Foundation.

Thank you also to all the parents and grandparents who came along to cheer the children on.
