U12 v Fettes

On Monday 11th May, our P6 team attended a special invitational athletics match at Fettes. Our boys and girls competed in track and field against 5 other schools in the U12 age group and produced some outstanding performances and finishes. A number of very notable personal bests were also achieved and the whole team came away from the competition on a high! Well done, everyone! Thank you to all the parents who supported the team at the event.

Scottish IAPS Athletics Championships 2008

On a sunny but windy afternoon at Fettes, our Academy team performed brilliantly to achieve fantastic success. The boys and girls also showed an excellent sporting attitude, great team spirit and camaraderie and a real competitive edge especially in closely fought events. A special mention to Blair Kinghorn, Innes Murray and the boys U10 relay team who all broke championship records with Blair receiving the Knight Frank Trophy for an outstanding individual performance taking 0.5s off the previous 150m record! Well done to everyone and thankyou to all who supported the team.
