The first NELT athletics festival!

Yesterday we held our first NELT athletics festival at Gateshead Stadium, where all of our schools came together for a brilliant day of sports, fun and positivity. The sun even came out to join us! We were so impressed by the sportsmanship displayed by our young people and it was lovely to see memories made and new friendships created between schools.

The morning began with a fabulous opening ceremony where each school paraded their school flags with pride, before heading to the track and field to compete in a range of events. There was an electric atmosphere during the entire day! Bronze, silver and gold medals were awarded after each individual event and we topped off the day with a final ceremony where Hermitage Academy and Meadowdale Academy were crowned as the winning primary and secondary school.

A huge congratulations and thank you to everyone involved in such a fantastic day.🤩
