Two fantastic celebrations of athletics and sporting achievement for School.
Pre-Prep
On a warm day at the end of June, the children enjoyed an exciting themed series of events based on Thomas The Tank Engine, written by MHS old boy Rev. W. Awdry.
Hosted by non-other than Sir Topham Hat (see the highlight video!), the events included a Coal Shuttle and Water Race to top up the teams’ engines. Congratulations to Awdry and Egan, joint winners of the Years 1 and 2 event, followed by Dunbar in third and Hawkings in fourth, and to Matilda M and Cary R R in Year 2 for Most Athletic Promise.

Prep School
Despite the rain at the Prep School Sports Day, it was a joyous event.
Congratulations to Awdry who were the runaway winners with 283 points, to Hawkings who came second with 176 points, to Dunbar who came third with 168 points and Egan who came fourth with 138 points. Congratulations also go to our deserving Victrix Ludorum Ruby C in Year 8 who won the long jump,
high jump and ball throw, and broke the 100m record with a new time of 13.85 secs (held since 2018).
