Upwell Academy

One of the true highlights of week was our traditional sports day. Reintroduced last year, we welcomed the best turn out of families ever, who joined us to cheer on our children who enjoyed a wide range of events from track racing, hurdles and sack races to the tug-of-war! A huge thank you to Mr Best and young Miss Fisher for supporting Miss Ellington and Miss Payne with setting everything up and to the wonderful Mrs Scott, who organised our PA system this year!

All of our children were amazing, the sportsmanship and comradery was fabulous to see. A special shout out to our youngest children in EYFS who were exceptional on the day and to all of the little ones that joined in for our toddler races too!

The fun did not stop there! Our Friends of School Association (FOSA) drummed up support from our children for their SPLASH-TASTIC finale which saw Academy Committee member, Mr Hartley enjoyed getting soaked by staff. After last year’s soaking in the stocks, Miss Ellington and the team were hugely relieved to say the least! Thank you from all of us, for being such a great sport Mr Hartley and for your help throughout the day.
