Why have field days? 

Different sections of the school get to deliver an experience that supplements, enriches or challenges areas of the curriculum, well-being or student experience.  

On our first field day, students from each year group participated in a variety of engaging activities that complemented their studies and promoted personal growth.Field Day Recap A Day of Learning and Fun - Field Day Recap A Day of Learning and Fun
