A record-breaking Sports Day 

We had the perfect conditions for our Prep School Sports Day – warm and sunny with a light breeze. Ideal for the gathered families, who started arriving from 9am with picnic hampers in tow, as well as our keen competitors.

While everyone gave their all, the standard of sportsmanship was particularly high this year, with 10 school records broken!

Congratulations to Zach O (100 and 200m), Oscar S (turbo javelin), Sidney C (hurdles), Freddie V (shot put), Harriet V (girls turbo javelin),  Alice S (turbo javelin), Rocco C H (boys’ shot put), Penelope G (girls’ shot put) and Emma Bull (girls’ shot put).

Prizes were also awarded for best overall performance:

Middle Victor: Will S, Middle Victrix: Lottie S

Junior Victor: Inigo G, Junior Victrix: Allegra

Long Distance Cup: Sam B

With first-class effort and teamwork from the children, enthusiasm from the gathered supporters, and the most glorious of settings, this event is always a highlight in the school year.

As Headmaster Mr McCullough said, “A Perrot Hill Sports Day is hard to beat!”
