Sports Day 2025

Sports Day 2025 was a show of sheer joy and community spirit!

The field was alive with colour, camaraderie and just the right amount of friendly competition as pupils (and staff) put their all into field and track events. The day kicked off with a vibrant opening ceremony, followed by mood-boosting dancing and team-building games – setting the perfect tone for an afternoon full of sport, friendship and fun.

Years 7 and 8 were first on the track, competing in sprints and long-distance runs, before moving onto a series of fun activities and novelty races, such as the sack race, egg-and-spoon race, skipping race and beanbag race. Field events included high jump, long jump, triple jump, shot put, discus and javelin.

Once everyone had finished their activities, it was time for the Mile Cup and relay races – including the much-anticipated staff relay. The Junior girls really got behind Senior Sports Day! There were lovely sights of girls across the years coming together, learning chants and dance routines to cheer on those competing on the track in true Withington style.

Congratulations go to Wei Ann, Year 7, for finishing first in the Mile Cup and to Emilia, Year 9, who set a new record in the javelin. Herford were this year’s champions.
