HUNDREDS of pupils enjoyed a great day at the Brentwood Middle School District Athletics event.
The annual event at Hutton All Saints' Primary School was, as always, carried out over two days.
The teams of pupils from Years 3-6 took part in various events, beginning with the field events – high jump, long jump and throwing. The finale was made up of the running events.
Competitors took part in the sprints – 60 or 80m – a long distance race and a relay.
Bentley St Paul's led by four points from St Joseph's after the field events, and they managed to hold on to win by three points on 117 points, with St Joseph's second with 114.
It was the first time the school had won the competition and a fitting finale for Diana Dawson, a parent who has voluntarily trained the Bentley St Paul's team for the past 15 years.
Sports teacher Lisa Kemp said: "What a fantastic achievement for Mrs Dawson and the pupils, which they thoroughly deserved after all the effort and hard work they have put in.
"The school is very grateful to Mrs Dawson for her time and effort and I hope I can continue where she left off."
Joe Durham, the PE co-ordinator at Hutton All Saints, said: "It was a very successful day.
"The sun was shining and it was great to see so much support for the children.
"It was a pleasure to host the event and we look forward to doing so again in the future."
