Yesterday thirty-one Y3/4 athletes had a wonderful time competing in the District Athletics Championships at Monkton Stadium. All of our teams performed superbly, with the B Team finishing a brilliant 4th, while our A team were overall District Champions- an outstanding achievement!

Our children have shown a great attitude in recent training sessions and everyone aimed for  personal best performances in the finals. Once again, the support throughout the squad for each other was so positive and up lifting- well done everyone!

The A team will now go on to represent South Tyneside in the County Finals on Friday 26th June at Monkton Stadium. They will compete against the best athletes from Newcastle, North Tyneside, Sunderland and Gateshead.

Meanwhile, it was amazing to see so much support for our children from our fantastic school community inside the stadium, which really helped to inspire our teams – thank you!

Congratulations to our whole squad on a great day’s athletics and good luck to our A team in the County Finals!
