On Thursday 18th June our Y3 and Y5/6 Quad Kids teams participated in the annual South Oxfordshire Final of the outdoor athletics season. With our Year 4s away on a residential trip, the Y3 team knew they faced a tough challenge competing against older children from other schools in their age group. As for our two Y5/6 teams, the ‘A’ team were looking to defend our title whilst the ‘B’ team were hoping to join them in the top two positions in the standings.

Our Y3 team were exceptional. A wonderful display of desire, enthusiasm and relentless effort saw them compete superbly. So superbly in fact that they earned 1,546 points and finished first, meaning that they may well be the youngest ever team of South Oxfordshire champions in the history of both our school and the competition itself!

Another team that performed exceptionally well were our Y5/6 ‘B’ team. After completing each of their events, they finished with a total of 1,810 points – a fabulous score that would have won them the competition in many of the previous years, but the squad that finished above them were our Y5/6 ‘A’ team, who amassed an incredible total of 2,088 points to come first and successfully defend their South Oxfordshire title!

Overall, a stunning display of athletics and due reward for all of the hard work these children have put in since the Easter break. We now await further details regarding the County Final for both age groups.
