The Flagpole

Year 7 really enjoyed their year-group sports day. For the Field events pupils took part in the Long Jump, High Jump, Javelin, Discus and Shot Put while on the Track they had the challenge of the 800m, 200m, 100m and of course the very competitive relay. It was an excellent enthusiastic effort from everyone with great house support from the sidelines. Well done everyone!

What a fantastic afternoon Year 8 had yesterday, at their year-group sports day. There was plenty of great competition in the track and field events. Well done to everyone for taking part so enthusiastically and showing such fabulous house spirit. A huge shout out for Andre who simply sailed over the bar in the High Jump to set a new Junior Boys school record.

It is with great excitement that after half term we will see the return of sports fixtures, Government guidance allowing. We pride ourselves on the diverse opportunities available to all pupils to get involved in sport, health and fitness at the College and hope that for four weeks we will have a small taste of this. The main aim of the Sports department is to run a comprehensive sports programme which allows all pupils to represent the school with confidence and to the best of their ability. All pupils are available for selection and need to proactively check information and team sheets.

Details of the fixtures are published on the College website and My School Portal. 

You should have already received an email containing the password (updated annually) to access team sheets.   

Microsoft Teams will be used to inform pupils about training and fixtures. The princethorpesport.co.uk webpage can be added to the home page of any smart phone in the form of an app.  On your smart phone follow the link here and download the app to your home page.  We encourage all parents and pupils to add the webpage to the home screen of their phones as it is a vital form of communication between school and home. 

A guide to the Trinity term sport can be found here and a guide to the Co-Curricular calendar can be found here.

One of our touring partners for the Senior Sports Tour, Lions Rugby Travel, is the official tour operator for the British and Irish Lions. Unfortunately, it has not been possible for schools and supporters to travel over to South Africa this year so they have created a great opportunity for Princethorpe families and friends to purchase Lions merchandise at an exclusive price ahead of this summer’s tour to South Africa. By clicking on the link here you could save up to £150 on the RRP on an incredible merchandise bundle. There are three bundles of clothing that range from a full pack which includes the iconic jersey, hoody, jacket, polo shirt, cap and backpack for only £138 saving £150, to an essential range costing £49 including the hoody, polo shirt and cap. 

This is a unique way to support the Lions Tour and be part of rugby’s greatest touring legacy.
