On Wednesday 17 July, Walton Academy hosted its highly anticipated sports day, an event marked by fierce competition and vibrant house spirit. The house competition saw students from Burghley, Belvoir, Belton, and Irnham compete in a variety of field and track events.

The day began with field events in the morning, where students competed in shot put, discus, javelin, and long jump. As the afternoon unfolded, the excitement shifted to the track events, featuring intense competitions in the 100m, 200m, 800m, and relay races. The entire Walton Academy community, including students, staff, and families, gathered to cheer on the athletes.

The sports day was a showcase of talent and determination. The friendly rivalry between the houses added to the excitement, with each house vying for top honours in every event.
