BIG ADVENTURES STARTS HERE

Sport

We are equally committed to promoting health and wellbeing. Physical activity is woven into daily life at the Pelican, with specialist coaching in PE, gymnastics, kung fu and dance from Reception through to Year 2.

Our much-loved Sports Day is one of the happiest afternoons in the school calendar. Held at the Prep playing fields on Porson Road, it brings together children, parents and staff for an afternoon of races, cheering and house spirit.

For some of our Pelicans, it is their first experience of competing in front of a crowd. Some race for the chance to win, while others take pride simply in reaching the finish line. Either way, there is a real sense of excitement as children encourage one another and celebrate each other’s efforts.

Sports Day is also a fantastic opportunity for families to share in school life. Parents line the track and the atmosphere is one of encouragement rather than pressure.

By the end of the afternoon, the trophy has been awarded, the races are over and everyone has plenty to talk about on the journey home. For many children, it is one of the moments they remember most fondly from their time at the Pelican.
