Congratulations to Nightingale who were crowned the 2019 Junior School Sports Day champions at the Bedford International Athletic Stadium on Wednesday.
On a very wet and blustery day at Barkers Lane, the atmosphere in the stadium was loud and electric with each pupil wearing their vibrant house t-shirt. The six houses were competing for the coveted Appleton Overall Sports Day Winners’ Cup.
Years 3-6 took part in a whole host of track and field events in front of fellow pupils, parents and staff with the afternoon beginning with the ball throw. Unfortunately, long jump had to be cancelled due to the weather conditions. The 60m and 75m sprints and egg and spoon races followed, with the relays bringing Sports Day to a close.
The final placings were as follows:
1st – Nightingale (482 points)
2nd – Hepburn (474 points)
3rd – Parks (436 points)
4th – Franklin (408 points)
5th – Austen (389 points)
6th – Chanel (385 points)
Miss Higginson (PE Teacher), said: “A fantastic day was had by all, the girls represented their houses with such pride and grace. It was great to see all the girls competing and encouraging their house. Well done, everybody.”
Next, it is the turn of the Seniors on Wednesday 3rd July.
