This year’s Sports Day will be bigger and better than ever before! It will take place on the morning of Friday 29 June (weather permitting – reserve day is Monday 2 July). The whole event will have an Olympic theme, including an opening ceremony and a podium.
Please bring rugs or deck chairs to sit on; we ask that all parents are seated on the field by 9.25am to be ready for the parade of ‘Athletes’. Each Foundation/Key Stage 1 class and each Key Stage 2 House will represent a Country in the parade.
The field will be laid out for both ‘Track events’ and ‘Field events’ with the spectator areas at either side – parents can freely move between the two spectator areas to watch their children on either track.
The timetable for the morning is as follows:

Plea for Gazebos and Tarpaulins/Large Rugs
We would like the children to be under shade, so in the centre of the field we aim to set up a covered area for them. If you have a large gazebo you are happy to loan for the event, please can we ask that you let Mr Brook know, and also that you take it to the field on Thursday 28 June from 1.15pm to meet Mr Brook. We also need large tarpaulins or rugs for them to sit on.
Volunteers needed to set up and clear away
If you can help set up the gazebos on Thursday 28 June, ideally from 1.15pm then please let Mr Brook know. It would also be of great help if any parents can stay at the end of the event on Friday to take down the gazebos and marquees. Thank you.
Refreshments will be on sale
We hope the Friends will have a marquee at the event from which they will be selling refreshments during the morning for parents, so do remember to bring some money.
We hope you can join us for this event and look forward to it kicking off our week of Olympic activities.
