Year 5/6 Sportshall Athletics - District

This evening, a squad of Year 6 children represented the school at the district Sportshall athletics competition. This competition is a Woodland View favourite and we have seen some great success at this event.

Sportshall athletics includes many different events: sprinting, jumping, throwing and working as a team. Throughout the competition, children compete in track and field events to help score points for their team.

It was a pleasure for Mr Willars, Mrs Young and Miss Chennells to attend this event with the children as they showed amazing cooperation, respect and determination during all the events. They are extremely proud of the children for cheering each other on loudly and enthusiastically during the track events!

After completing all of their events, it was time for the children to find out how they had performed overall. In a field of six other strong schools, Woodland View came first overall!! They scored a staggering 260 points across all the events, beating the second-place school by more than 20 points!!

We are incredibly proud of our 2026 SHA squad! Because the team finished in first place, this gives them a great chance to represent the district at the county finals at the end of February. We are still waiting to hear whether we have reached this round as there are three other competitions over the coming weeks. We await confirmation of the results from these events and whether we have qualified for the county competition early next year.

We keep our fingers crossed for progression to the next round, but applaud our Y6 team for their amazing success so far!
