Glasgow Schools' Athletics Championships

This year the Glasgow Schools'Athletics  Championships took place over two days both at Scotstoun Stadium. Athletics has become the most successful sport for the school over the past few years and we had our largest group of athletes taking part this year. We had 52 individual entries in the competition which is amazing considering the school roll is 282. We also had 6 relay teams entered. The numbers are a real success story for the school, we didn't have many club athletes in our squad only about 5/52 so the numbers show the hard work and level the pupils have got to during core PE and the after school athletics club. This year was our most successful athletics day at the championships, the school won 15 medals. Our 5 year progression in the championships in terms of medals won has been: 2013 - 0, 2014 - 1, 2015 - 4, 2016 - 10, 2017 - 15! Fantastic progress!
