A total of 450 pupils took part in Oasis Academy Isle of Sheppey’s sports day.

Youngsters from all year groups entered track and field events at the Minster Road site.

Notable highlights included Taylor Catley winning the breakout performer award for finishing second in the Year 7 100m finals.

Ellie King won athlete of the day after she took first place in the
girls’ 300m.

Sheerness Family, which included Jade Pennell, Chloe Murphy, Devon Harris and Charlotte Harris, won the girls’ 4x100m relay.

The day’s overall winners were Harty Family, who beat Abbey Family by four points – the closest finish to an academy sports day.

A number of school records were shattered as the day progressed: Kara Aaron (Brabazon) for the 200m in 36.02secs, while Hannah Foster and Chanelle Lambkin (both Harty) set a new high jump best (1.30m).

James Smith, the academy’s head of department, said: "Sports day is always one of the top events in the academy calendar and it was great to see so many pupils taking part this year.

“Thanks must go to our sixth formers, staff and PE department for the diligent planning and hard work before, during and after the event.”
