The countdown is officially on.
In just one month’s time, on Tuesday 7 July 2026, thousands of pupils from across our Trust will come together at the iconic Alexander Stadium for what we believe could be the largest school sports day ever staged in the UK.
More than 6,500 pupils from our schools will take part in a spectacular celebration of sport, teamwork, achievement and community, competing on the same track that has hosted international athletics events and some of the world’s greatest athletes.
The event will bring together finalists from schools across the Trust for a day of competition, alongside a packed programme of performances showcasing the diverse talents of our young people.
As well as thrilling athletics action, spectators can look forward to:
- Live performances from talented pupil singers and dancers
- The return of the hugely popular House Mascot Race
- The ever-entertaining Headteacher Race
The event builds on the success of last year’s Trust Sports Day at Alexander Stadium, which created unforgettable memories for pupils, staff and families. This year promises to be even bigger, bringing together more schools and more participants than ever before.
Parents and family members of pupils who qualify for the finals will be welcome to attend and support competitors throughout the day. Schools will communicate directly with families once participants have been confirmed and further event information becomes available.
As the one-month countdown begins, excitement is building across the Trust. For many pupils, the opportunity to compete or perform at such a prestigious venue is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a chance to be part of something truly special.
One month to go. One stadium. One Trust. Thousands of pupils. One unforgettable day.
