Sports Day 2026

30th May 2026

Sports Day in our Nursery School today was a huge success, and that is entirely down to the incredibly generous support from our families through the sponsorship forms. We raised an extraordinary amount of money, all of which will go directly into our School Fund to support extra‑curricular experiences for our little ones.

The children were an absolute credit to their families. They threw themselves into every event with enthusiasm and big smiles—egg and spoon races, sack races, sprints, obstacle courses, and many more. The morning finished with a well‑earned hot lunch, enjoyed by all.

Parents were able to relax with tea, sandwiches, buns, and a wonderful selection of treats. A heartfelt thank‑you to all those who baked homemade scones, buns, and contributed such a generous array of food. Your kindness and effort made the day even more special.

Sports Day is always a highlight of our school calendar, and its success is only possible because of the continued support, involvement, and community spirit of our families. We are truly grateful.
