Northumberland School Games
23 & 24 June
Well done to our pupils who attended this prestigious event. Prior to this, our teams had to compete against the other schools of our Sports Partnership to qualify. It ran very similar to an Olympics event, including: an Opening Ceremony; special guests from the world of sport; the actual competitions and a medal ceremony.
Over the two days we had a Bronze medal winning Y8 netball team, Silver for our Y5/6 Quadkids team and a fantastic Gold for the Y5/6 Girls football team. Special mention also goes to our Y8 Sports Leaders who ran the Quadkids event and entertainment provided by our Y8 Cheerleaders and our Samba band.
Sports Days
25 & 26 June
All our pupils took some part in our Sports Days in either Track or Field events or both! The events went particularly well with a fantastic level of competition. All pupils who took part and helped gain points for their House must be highly praised. Particular mention goes to James Herron (Y6 Long Jump), Joe Buxton (Y6 Howler throw), Josh Grenfell (Y5 High Jump) and the relay teams from Collingwood Y6 Girls, Dacre Y6 Boys, Howard Y7 Girls for breaking the school records (and Ben Waterfield’s record equaling High Jump)!
County Athletics event, Gateshead Stadium
27 June
Huge praise and congratulations go to our athletes who took part in this event. They qualified from the Area Event earlier this year, which in itself was a fantastic achievement, and from this we were the highest represented school in the Area. Well done to all those who took part, all of them can take great credit knowing they competed against the best athletes in the North East.
Full results will be available on their website.
