There is always a lot going on towards the end of the summer term, and this year was no different. One calendar item stands out though – Sports Day. Following on from the great day we had last year our PE department pulled out all the stops and organised a wonderful day of activities and fun for the whole school community. Even though the introduction of our new colleges was only days before it was wonderful to see how pupils and staff came together supporting each other and enjoying the day together with their fellow college members including our leavers who came in to help. The weather was perfect and rain held off until the last minute. A great big thank you to the PE staff for organising another successful Sports Day.

It’s always nice for us to find out how ex Lynn Grovers are getting on once the have left. Lottie Gray, who we remember for her love of language and music, is building a career as a singer-songwriter whilst studying at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. She recently participated as a judge in a Trust Primary Poetry Prize competition after being in touch via our alumni network. It is lovely to see that Lottie wants to inspire young people and speaks positively to them about her education both at Woodlands and Lynn Grove.

After the brilliant start of our Year 10 athletics team it was the turn of our Year 9, 8 and 7 teams over the past 2 weeks.

The Year 9s had their event on Thursday, 25 May 2023. They did incredibly well and overachieved across the whole event, finishing in a brilliant second place.

Year 8 went to face their opponents on a cold evening on 6 June 2023. They did very well with some outstanding individual performances and came third overall.

Finally, the Year 7 team were on this Thursday, 8 June 2023. Showing a lot of resilience they put in a huge performance and finished joined second.

Our PE staff would like to point out how proud they are of our pupils who worked together as teams incredibly well, always supporting each other and showing great spirit and determination. Some of them surprised themselves with what they were able to achieve and are now keen to get stuck in and work hard on their performances. There are 2 weeks left until this year’s Athletics finals on Wednesday, 21 June, and all the Lynn Grove teams are in a good place to do well on the day. Good luck to all!

We had so much positive feedback from last term’s parent video newsletter that we thought it was a good time to share with you some of the incredible things our staff and pupils have been up to over the last couple of months.
