The PE Department and School Parliament have organised a fun-filled Sports Week, the week commencing Tuesday 25th June. This week aims to celebrate all things sporty and give students the opportunity to take part in a variety of activities throughout the week culminating in an Olympic-themed Sports Day.

Following the exciting renovation of our school gym earlier this year, we are now planning to refurbish our gym changing rooms. During Sports week, student leaders including representatives from School Parliament, Year Council, and our Student Ambassadors, are hosting events to fundraise for this refurbishment. We are hoping that the money raised during Sports Week will make our gym offering even more fabulous for students now and in the future!

Sports Week promises to be an exciting week of activities for students to get involved including taking part in a yoga session, e-sports competition, a penalty shoot-out, or attending a lecture from a former professional sprinter and bob skeleton athlete. Students can sponsor their teachers who are taking part in a sponsored ride and row the distance from Hardenhuish to the Olympic Games in Paris on Tuesday. During the event, staff will be motivated by tunes from our student-led Hardenhuish Radio, and students can donate to request their favourite song or give staff an encouraging shout-out! Students can buy tickets to a sports raffle with prizes ranging from rugby tickets to lessons with a pro golfer at Castle Combe golf course. There is a sportswear themed non-uniform day on Thursday and an Olympic-themed Sports Day on Friday with facepainting, ice-lolly and drinks for sale at the event.
