Athletic Record Breakers

We’re excited to announce that two new school records were set at this year’s Sports Day!

Congratulations to:

Sebi W (Year 5) – ran the 100m sprint in 13.88 seconds. He beat Charlie Foster’s (OB 1976-79) previous record of 13.9 seconds set in 1976!

Benjamin W (Year 3) – threw a cricket ball an impressive 38m. He beat Anthony White’s (OB 1980-85) previous record of 37.76m set in 1980. 

Cromer (formerly Kiwis) were this year’s Sports Day House winners, followed closely by Eddystone (formerly Lions), Trinity (formerly Springboks) and then Portland (formerly Wallabies).

The full list of Beacon School Record holders can be found below.
