Last Saturday was one of the biggest events in the School calendar. All Year 3 to 6 pupils competed in our annual Sports Day and we were blessed with wonderful weather and the children were eager to get started. Parents, siblings, friends and grandparents came to support the children, all ready to cheer on the athletes. During the day, six School records were broken; Nathan Calverley (Junior Boys' Shot Put), Matilda Foreman (Junior Girls' Ball Throw) Fabian Gooding (U11 Boys' 200m), Evie Smith (Senior Girls' 800m and Senior Girls' Long Jump) and Hever (Senior Girls 4x100m relay).
As ever, this was a fantastic event and my overriding feeling from the day was of great pride in our SVPS community. The support given by members of staff to help run the event was outstanding. The support given to all pupils by the spectators, whether they were leading a race or even struggling to finish was simply incredible. The day really epitomises what sport is all about; competing hard but acknowledging the fact that everyone is giving of their best and cheering them all on, from the very first race to the last tug-of-war.
