Sports Day spectacular brings out the best in athletes

One of the highlights of the academic year is the Cowley Academy Sports Day which took place on Thursday 20th June 2024 and we treated to perfect conditions for students to compete.

This sporting spectacular was held at the Princess Royal Sports Arena in Boston and this was the first time our sports day has been held at a proper athletics stadium.

Over 250 students competed in a range of events such as the 100m, 200m, 3/400m, 800m, 1,500m, Javelin, Shot Put, Discus, High Jump and Long Jump. The highlight of the day was the 4 x 100m relay with teams for Years 7 to 10.

The competition amongst the Bass, Cowley, Flinders, Swift and Banks Houses was good spirited with tremendous enthusiasm. Everyone put in their best performances as they were supported throughout the day by their respective Houses.

A special mention goes to Brooke Chambers in Year 7 who stormed her way to win the 800 metres and broke the school record. There was many other records which were close to being beaten as the athletes gave their all.

Thank you to everyone in the PE department, the Heads of House and all of the staff volunteers who made this such a fantastic event.

The overall results for the Houses are below and congratulations to Cowley House.
