Sports Day Scorcher!
Just like tennis from the centre court at Wimbledon and cricket from Edgbaston, the advent of high summer here at HGS means only one thing: our hotly-anticipated sports day, where our 5 noble houses go head to head in defending their honour!
This year’s event, on Tuesday June 17th , was no exception as students, teachers and parents gathered at the world-class Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr to compete in a range of track and field events including the much anticipated tug of war!
The beautifully sunny and slightly breezy weather made for excellent conditions, and with Mr Conway on the microphone and Mr Johnson on the medals, the event was a runaway- and very noisy- success with our students shouting their encouragement to the wide range of competitors from all year groups and houses.
It was fantastic to see the winners streaking ahead, but it was also lovely to see the encouragement and applause given to the students bringing up the rear, determined to get over the line. Well done all of you!
Many school records were broken during the event as you can see from the attached photos and we would like to congratulate everyone who broke a record on their outstanding achievement.
Well done to all our competitors, supporters, staff and parents who made Sports Day 2025 such a lovely event- and if you didn’t compete in 2025, now’s the time to lace up your tainers and get practising…
