Sports Day 2026 - Important reminders for parents/carers

We invite all parents/carers attending sports day to read this information carefully:
We are excited for our Sports Day activities at Lemington Riverside tomorrow (Thursday 9 July).
In the morning, we have our Nursery, Reception and Bridge Sports Day activities that take place in the Early Years garden at school. Please see separate information that has been sent about this.
In the afternoon our Y1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 sports day takes place at the Lemington Football Centre (1:30-3pm).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS/CARERS:
- Please ensure your child is wearing suitable clothing for sports day. Trainers please, no crocs or sandals. Please ensure children have applied sun cream before school, have a sun hat and bring a refillable water bottle.
- Parents/carers MUST remain in the area designated for adult spectators throughout the event. Please do not request to take children during the sports day - we need to ensure everybody is kept safe and staff have been instructed to do this.
- This event is a FUN celebration of sport - our staff have worked hard to arrange and organise the event - we always do our best to get the finish line decisions right, but please don't feel you need to be VAR for us (we've seen enough of that in the World Cup!!). As we always do as a school, we make sure all children are celebrated and have various medals and certificates that will be given out following the event.
- The majority of children will walk to the Lemington Football Centre for the event for it starting at 1:30pm. Some children will be transported with Mr. Carter/Mr. Murphy in the minibus.
- There will be refreshments on sale, please see below.
- At the end of sports day, parents/carers who wish to take their children directly from sports day can do so at the end of the event - again, please be patient and allow our staff to dismiss in a controlled, safe manner.
- You may take photos during the event, but you must not share any photos on social media if they contain children other than your own.
THANK YOU so much for your support and we look forward to an enjoyable sports day
🙂
