Competing against nine districts from across Sussex, students took part in a wide range of indoor track and field events, specially adapted for the sportshall environment. The competition tested speed, strength, agility, and teamwork across multiple disciplines.
The Year 7 boys achieved an incredible result, finishing 1st overall in Sussex.

As a team-based competition where points are accumulated across events, this result highlights the boys’ all-round athletic ability and strong team performance.
The winning team, Benji, Arthur, Bexley, Gideon, Oscar, and Leo, demonstrated determination, versatility, and excellent teamwork throughout the competition.
The Year 8 girls Amelia, Rose, Natalia, Lola, Ruby, Izabella and Tera also delivered a strong performance, finishing an impressive 4th overall in Sussex, showcasing both skill and resilience against tough competition.
