Sports Day Was A Record Breaking Success

Sports Day is always super fun for everyone at school and, race after race, event after event, our young athletes didn’t disappoint, as they leapt, threw and sprinted to make this year’s Sports Day another record-breaking success.

Years 3 and 4 and Years 5 and 6 competed separately in 60m and 150m sprints, a middle distance 600m run, the Long Jump, High Jump, Shot Putt and the Howler Throw. Then, Sports Day was completed with the always hotly contested House Relay Races.

A very successful morning of sport saw plenty of new school records set.

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. 

At the end of a very busy morning, Mrs McCollin was delighted to announce the House results and Mr Thackway presented the trophies. Many congratulations to St George’s House, our overall winners this year, and to St Andrew’s who claimed the Year 5/6 trophy and St David’s who won the Year 3/4 trophy. It was honours even all round.

A huge well done to the children, who were all brilliant, and a big thank you to all the staff and Sixth Form students for all that measuring, timing, recording and corralling. Thanks also to the many parents and grandparents that came along to support.
