Rain doesn't dampen spirits at sports day

A damp day did little to spoil the spirits of students at the Treloar School sports day.

Held at the Froyle site last week (Wednesday 6 July), staff and students had a great afternoon of activities.

PE teacher, Martin Hogwood, explained: “All students are given the option to take part and I was delighted that so many took up the challenge. Many of the students took the opportunity to show off their prowess in 'walkers' and on bikes. This also gives the Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists something to focus on in the weeks leading up to sports day as students are keen to follow their walking programmes and hone up their driving skills.”

A keenly contested interhouse relay was held between the residential houses based at the School, and proved to be the highlight of the day. While Heywood House secured the C-team race and Pike House clinched the B-team race, rain began to fall just as the deciding A-team race was about to begin.

Martin said: “This did not deter the competitors or the spectators and Pike house clinched the title to the delight of half the crowd!”

Martin added that Sports day is a popular and important part of School life at Treloar’s.

“It is yet another example of how Treloar’s staff from all disciplines work together to provide a valuable and enjoyable experience for the students.”
