Sports Day 2023 – New school records!

Achievements, Celebration, News, Past Events, Senior School, Sports

Thursday 8 September saw the Senior School assemble at Wimbledon Park Athletics Track for what would turn out to be a spectacular Sports Day.

The sun shone brightly on the competitors but our athletes took it in their stride, with many recording personal bests and shattering a number of school records.

The annual Sports Day is one of our favourite events of the school calendar and and this year was no exception. The morning was filled with track and field events, while the afternoon was an opportunity for fun, frolics and some timeless Sports Day games. Not to mention a delightful bake sale, with all funds raised donated to House Charities.

Read on to find out all winners, and our new school records!
