St. Mary's Annual Sports Day is one of the highlights of the school calendar, bringing together students from every year group for a day of fun, teamwork and friendly competition. Held each year in September or May, depending on the weather, Sports Day celebrates participation, school spirit and healthy competition.
Our Sports Day has a unique twist. Rather than focusing solely on individual performances, the event is organised as an inter-class competition, with students earning points for their class throughout the day. Alongside traditional athletics events such as sprints, relays and field events, students compete in a range of entertaining novelty challenges that guarantee plenty of excitement and laughter.
Some of the most eagerly anticipated events include the Four-Way Tug of War, the Obstacle Course, and the ever-popular Water Carrying Challenge, a firm favourite among students and staff alike.
At the end of the day, the class with the highest points total in each year group is presented with the Sports Day Cup, recognising not only sporting ability but also teamwork, determination and class spirit.
Sports Day is a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their talents, support one another and create lasting memories, making it one of the most enjoyable and eagerly anticipated events of the school year.
