On Thursday, 16th January, over 120 Year 5 and Year 6 children from six local primary schools gathered in the Sports Hall at Norton Hill School to compete in the region's 'Sports Hall Athletics Competition'.
The schools included: High Littleton, Midsomer Norton Primary, Paulton Junior, St John's, Westfield, and the Academy of Trinity. All of the schools performed well, with some exceptional performances from Westfield pupils.
Due to Westfield's sheer grit and determination, the school emerged as overall winners, with Midsomer
Norton Primary closely behind in second place and Paulton Junior in third. The overwhelming screams of
support from fellow pupils were a testament to the
passion, enjoyment and camaraderie shown by these young athletes of the future.
This particular event could not have taken place without the help of the Norton Hill Sports Leaders, who gave up their time to help coordinate each of the sporting event stations. Many of the Sports Leaders have already achieved their Silver Award in Leadership, with over half the academic year still left to go!
Beth Jones, the School Sports Partnership Manager, said: "Each of the primary schools should be immensely proud of their pupils' sporting achievements. We look forward to seeing them all at our next sporting event."
