And the winner is…

Sports Day 2024

What a way to end the term! The sun shone on our postponed Sports Day on Thursday, with records tumbling and house pride in full effect. Three school records fell:

  • Isaac Roper took the Year 7 boys’ high jump record with a height of 1m50cm
  • Gabriel Kordys took the Year 9 boys’ 100m record in a time of 11.51, beating a record which had stood since 1999 (11.74, set by B Handy, also of Stuart House)
  • Olive Leaney took the Year 9 girls’ 800m record

The full list is below:

To accompany the record-breaking, it was HANOVER HOUSE who triumphed, retaining the Tug of War Trophy and lifting the Sports Day Cup for the first time since 2010!

It was a close-run thing though, with 2023 winners Lancaster pushing all the way, and Tudor making a late surge in the afternoon events. The final results were as follows:
