This week, some super brave Year 3 children walked down to Stocksbridge High School to take part in a Christmas Sports Festival along with both Deepcar and Stocksbridge Infant Schools.

Another bitterly cold cross country race doesn’t put off our amazing and dedicated team with another fantastic turn out.

The Inclusive Boccia is one of my favourite competitions to attend as it is so well organised and is set up to be inclusive for all children to take part.

We are delighted to have taken part in the Sheffield Schools Skipathon Week 2023 with over 50 Sheffield schools and an incredible 15,000 children taking part. The project is about fun physical activity with a motto of ‘fitness through fun for everyone’. The aim is to provide all children with a positive experience of skipping with Mr Tee delivering fun skipping workshops during PE with the hope they will take what they have learnt home with them and continue to hone their skills with the family. In addition, our new Year 6 Sports Leaders are having running practice workshops at lunchtimes which have been very popular.

The local cluster Sports Hall Athletics competition this year was even more competitive with the addition of Wharncliffe Side and this made for an exciting evening of sport. The events include individual and relay races alongside field events such as the speed bounce, long jump, target throw and basketball throw. Again, this year, SJS had two teams with the winning team progressing through to the Links Final early December.
