Sports Day

This takes place on Friday 16th July, from 11.30 am. We would be delighted if family and friends could join us and you are welcome to bring a picnic and stay and have lunch with the children after the events. If you are able to stay for the whole afternoon please bring your family picnic and a groundsheet/ blanket to sit on. There will also be an ice cream van.
On Sports Day all children are requested to bring a packed lunch. If your child normally has a free school dinner and you would like the kitchen to provide a packed lunch please let the school office know by Monday 12th July. We would ask that during the events, all parents, friends and family stay around the edge of the field to watch and do not walk across the field between the activities. Families may take their Infant and Nursery aged children home when they wish after the fun. Please let your child's class teacher know when you are leaving. Back to top
