The Bedford International Athletics Stadium was filled with vibrant rainbow colours as enthusiastic crowds cheered on their Houses. Oh, how we relished these sunny days! Thursday 6th July marked yet another colourful Junior School Sports day, where the BGS community gathered to witness outstanding performances.

Under perfect weather conditions, the girls participated in more events than ever before, showcasing excellent techniques in the long jump and rounders ball throw. Two records were shattered on that day: Imogen Murphy (Year 3) completed the 600m race in an impressive time of 2 minutes and 17 seconds, while Merrin Harris (Year 6) completed the 75m race in just 10.95 seconds.

A massive thank you goes out to our Sixth Form and Year 11 helpers, who displayed incredible dedication throughout the day! You can view photos from the event by clicking here.
