Track & Field Championships – Friday 26 June 2026

15 June 2026

Dear Parent/Carer,

Track & Field Championships – Friday 26 June 2026

We will be holding our annual Track & Field Championships at Osterley Athletics track (opposite the school) on Friday 26 June. This is an important whole school event that is always thoroughly enjoyed by students, staff and spectators. All students across Years 7-10 will participate in a range of track and field athletic events. Students gain points for their house based on their active participation. Students are only allowed to take part in a maximum of three events. All students are expected to participate in at least one event. 

Please note the following key points: 

• PE kit - Students must wear full and correct physical education kit (House polo shirt, black shorts, white socks, trainers). Tracksuit bottoms can be worn to and from school, but not during the day. Students not in full PE kit with House shirt will not be allowed to compete.
• Safety - Cover and shaded areas at the track are sparse; therefore, a shower-proof jacket, hat and sun-cream are allowed and strongly advised.
• Valuables - No valuables should be brought to the event; the school does not take responsibility for any damage or loss.
• Breakfast – The Pantry will be open before school as usual for students to purchase breakfast.
• Lunch – There is no café at the track, so all students are advised to bring a healthy packed lunch with sufficient water for the day.
• Free School Meals - These students will have the opportunity to go to The Pantry at the end of the event to receive a meal.
• Spectating - Parents/carers are welcome to attend the Track & Field Championships as spectators; a viewing area will be arranged, so please look out for signposts. Please be aware that this is not next to the finishing line. If you plan to attend, please read our position paper about taking photographs.
• Bad Weather - A decision on any cancellation will be made before 3.05pm on Thursday 25 June. Therefore, we urge you to check the school website if you are concerned. In such an event, Friday 26 June will be a normal school day. 

Thank you in anticipation of your support for what is always an exciting and memorable event in our school calendar. 

Yours faithfully,

Mr M Mullins
