We have had an extremely successful couple of years of sport at @greatwalstead . Congratulations to all of our pupils who qualified for an @iapsuksport national final last year.

We had an amazing day at the national athletics finals yesterday. 14 finalists and well done to our medalists: Archie (🥈shot put), Bibi (🥉1500m), Rafael (🥉800m) and Max (🥉1500m). An exceptional athletics season comes to an end.

Another fun filled day for Year 6 on their residential. They were shown how to debone a fish, were taught some bush craft first aid, and put it into practice when they had to “rescue” their teachers from a plane crash!

[Great Walstead School @greatwalstead]

Year 6 had a busy first day, building camps and playing camouflage games before having S’mores to round off the evening. They all woke up raring to go this morning for another action packed day.
