Sports Fixtures 2025-2026
Sandfield Sporting Fixtures Are Underway!
Upper Key Stage 2 children have kicked off the term with enthusiasm, training hard for a range of sporting events including cross-country, netball, and football. During PE lessons and lunchtime sessions, pupils have embraced the challenge of completing either 15 or 30 laps around our newly designed playground. After measuring the perimeter of both netball courts, we discovered that 30 laps equals 2 kilometres—exactly the distance required for the upcoming cross-country races!
Cross Country Competition 18/09/2025
Last Thursday, our cross-country squad took on a particularly tough course featuring steep climbs, rocky terrain, and narrow paths. With over 60 runners in each race, our Sandfield team performed really well. Several Year 6 pupils achieved personal bests, and all our Year 5 runners completed the course—some even finishing in the top 20! We’re incredibly proud of every child who took part in this challenging event. A huge thank you to the parents who came along to cheer on the team, and to Mrs Payne for accompanying the squad—your support makes all the difference!
Meanwhile, on Friday 19/09/2025, our netball squad had an exciting opportunity to train with the head coach of Surrey Storm Netball at Surrey Sports Park. The children tackled advanced drills and then played in mixed-school teams, gaining valuable experience and confidence on the court.
