Success at District Sports

Yesterday, 19th June, a team of 24 pupils from Heathlands went to the Colchester Garrison athletics track to take part in the District Sports event.  There were many schools there and the atmosphere was electric.  All our athletes were amazing each doing their absolute best and showing great sportsmanship. Along with many golds, silvers and bronze medals, all our relay teams reached the finals three of which came first and one scoring valuable points in fourth place.  Thank you to all the parents/brothers/grandparents who helped with transport and supported our lovely children.
