All age groups took part in the three separate sports days - nursery, prep and senior school - working hard to win points for their teams.

Amongst the excellent Prep School performances was an outstanding show of skill by Astra in year 6 who threw a rounders' ball over 35m.

Not to be outdone, the seniors matched the juniors' efforts at amassing team points - particularly Flossie Martin in year 10.

The school's serious athletes - some of whom compete at county, regional and national level - produced some top quality performances. Millie Deacon in year 10 broke the 400m record and Ellis Davey in year 9 smashed the 200m record.

Head of PE, Kathryn Barbery-Redd, said: "All three events were a great success. We were blessed with beautiful sunshine and perfect conditions. It really was a celebration of athletics performed in a truly ‘sportswoman'-like manner and a fitting end to an extremely successful sporting year."

Ends 8 July 2011
