Sports Day 2025

We were fortunate to have a beautiful sunny day and a wonderfully set up playing field (thank you to Pointon Parish Council and Pointon Football Club!) for our annual Sports Day. This was the first year of competitive races and Sports Houses, with the yellow team coming out as overall winners! 

Tri-Golf Development Day - April 2025
 
We welcomed Elite back into school to introduce the children to the sport of Tri-Golf during an all-school development day.

The children from Years 3 and 4 competed against 25 other schools from the area and won their group with ease! 
We bowed out of the competition at the semi-final stage but WOW!  - the children really excelled at this new sport with some amazing scores and we are very proud of them! 
Year 5 & 6 Cross Country
 
Children from Years 5 and 6 travelled to Pinchbeck where they competed against a number of other schools in what was a very cold and muddy day! The team represented our school amazingly and showed great determination and resilience in a sport that many have never participated in before.

All of our children were lucky enough to spend some time with Mr Johnson from Elite Sports and learn about the sport of archery.
 
KS1 children took part in target games, which involved catching and throwing, and competed against their peers to score points by throwing the beanbags into hoops. 
 
KS2 children were able to use the bows and arrows and practice their shooting and aiming skills, again competing against their peers to score as many points as they can.
