OAT Games - Road to Rio 2016

Last Monday (11^th July 2016) was the inaugural OAT School Games – Road to Rio. We took over 90 pupils from year 7-10 to compete in a range of events, including:
futsal, touch rugby, wheelchair basketball, handball, netball and athletics.

After the 2 hour journey to Stoke-on-Trent we arrived and met the 6 other Ormiston academies who also took part in the games. Each academy represented a country and began the games with a dance off; our nation was Spain.

Well done to the girls who took part in the dance-off!

Oli Yarnold, winner of the English sports day oath competition, read out his oath in front of all the 700 competitors and was selected to carry the Olympic torch around the track. His oath read: 

Picture: Oli Yarnold

‘On behalf of all the competitors here today, I promise to respect and not discriminate against the other participants in a race. It’s not all about winning it’s the taking part that counts. No matter your ability try your best. We will have sportsmanship and congratulate the winners and losers’

During the day our pupils competed in a number of sporting activities and did exceptionally well in a lot of the events. We were victorious in many events, including: the girl’s athletics and netball, the boy’s handball and even the tug-of-war.

The scores were added up and we missed out on 1^st place by 1 point!!

Well done to the event organisers, the Ormiston Academies, the young leaders and the competitors.

A great day had by all! We'll look forward to the next event.

From THOA, Tom Newall and Hannah Lancaster represented us in the high jump and 1500m, respectively.

Tom managed to clear 1.55m and finished in 6th place. A great effort from Tom who is already looking forward to qualify for next year's event.

Hannah won her race with an outstanding finish. She was right behind the leader for 1300m and managed to overtake with an amazing sprint finish to become county champion.

Sports day 2014

Now the summer holidays are upon us, we can finally look back on the last three weeks of a very busy term. 

On Monday 7^th July we held our annual sports day which took place throughout the day. The forecast had predicted a bright and clear morning with a chance of rain in the afternoon. All field events were performed in the morning with the track events scheduled for the afternoon; in front of the whole school.

The morning was a huge success, however, the rain clouds had swiftly moved in, during lunchtime. The sudden change in weather didn’t put us off. So many schools would have cancelled but at THS, we have an indoor plan.

Thanks to the Kingspan Trust the school was given a grant, which allowed us to buy a complete set of indoor athletics equipment. This was the perfect chance to put it to good use.

The scores throughout the day were neck and neck and the final scores were so close. The results were:

1^st – Red Marauders

2^nd- Jade Warriors

3^rd- Aztec Golds

4^th- Blue Barbarians
