First up were the Infants with six classes competing for the first time. The children took part in eight events, including the vortex throw, orange and spoon race, as well as teachers’ face-splashing favourite ‘Get Ready for School’. The winners were Ascot with 127 points, followed by Kempton 122, Chepstow 119 then Goodwood 113.
Later in the week, it was the turn of the Junior pupils. First up was the carousel of races including the hurdle, football relay, hockey relay, and vortex throw. At the halfway point, Goodwood lead by just 2 points. This year, our oldest cohort raced over two laps in a new event, ‘Leavers’ Laps’. Every finisher chalked up another point for their house. Finally, the house relays, where a pupil from each year group joined forces to make a house team. The races could not have been closer - what an exciting end to Sports Day! After another extremely close competition, the victors of 2019 were Goodwood with 176, just 1 point ahead of Chepstow with 175, Ascot with 171 then Kempton with 168.
Well done to all our super competitors and, as always, thank you to parents and family members who came along to support the children.
