Jane Archibald, Nord Anglia
“Sports day is a fun opportunity for
children to take part in a range of
sports and to experience an element
of competition as well as team games.
The aim is for all of the pupils to have a
positive experience and to participate in
a variety of events, both in teams and
as individuals. There are ‘House’ events
which add to the enjoyment of the day,
with everyone routing for their team.
“The school offers an extensive
number of squads and teams (we have
over 60 throughout the school) so our
Primary children have many options
when it comes to competing. These
are run or led by our experienced
and dedicated team of specialist PE
teachers. Types of teams include
gymnastics, horse riding, netball,
athletics, swimming, football, rugby,
cross-county running, cricket, basketball,
tennis, volley ball to name a few.
We take part in local competitions in
HK against both local and international
schools and also compete in
competitions around the world such as
the COBIS Games and the Nord Anglia
Global Games China.”
