Last month, our Key Stage 2 athletics team enjoyed a fantastic day of competition at Saffron Lane, taking part in a range of track and field events against other local schools.

The children were outstanding throughout the day, showing tremendous determination, skill and enthusiasm in every event. Whether sprinting down the track, tackling longer-distance races or competing in the field events, they gave their absolute best and represented the school brilliantly.

We were delighted to see many of our athletes achieve first, second and third-place finishes throughout the day. With every point counting towards the final standings, the team's hard work paid off as Great Bowden Academy secured an impressive 3rd place overall!

Most importantly, the children demonstrated excellent sportsmanship, supporting one another and celebrating each other's successes throughout the competition. We couldn't be prouder of every member of the team.

A huge thank you to the South Leicestershire Small Schools Partnership for organising what is always one of the sporting highlights of the school year.

Well done, Team GBA.
