Year 6 Panathlon competition victory

A group of Year 6 learners attended the Primary Panathlon Competition at Southfields Academy, competing against five other schools in a range of adapted sporting activities. The event provided a fantastic opportunity for learners with SEND to represent the school in an inclusive and supportive environment.

The team participated in activities including New Age Kurling, a skittle game, seated target games, bean bag throwing, adapted basketball, adapted darts and dribbling challenges. Throughout the day, the learners showed excellent teamwork, encouraging one another and working together to score as many points as possible.

A special mention goes to one learner who initially said he did not want to compete and planned only to support his teammates. However, during the adapted darts activity, he stepped up twice and was the only participant to hit all five coloured targets on both attempts. His performance helped boost the team’s score and gave everyone a real lift. He then went on to take part in the other activities, showing great confidence and determination. He was undoubtedly the standout performer of the day.

The learners represented the school brilliantly with their enthusiasm, behaviour and sportsmanship. Their hard work paid off as they achieved the highest score of the competition and were crowned Panathlon Champions, taking home the gold medal.

Final Result: 🥇 1st Place
