Sports Day 2026

6 May 2026

Dear Parents/Carers

SCHOOL SPORTS DAY FOR YEAR 7-10 PUPILS

The school Sports Day will be held on Wednesday 15 July 2026 at StoneX Stadium for pupils in Year 7-10.

Pupils should make their way directly to StoneX Stadium (not to school), wearing their St James’ PE kit by 8:30am, where they will be registered by their teachers; events will start promptly at 9.00am.

Pupils will be dismissed from StoneX Stadium at approximately 3:00pm; in the event of wet weather, pupils may be released earlier, parents will be informed via text if this is the case.

Once your child has been released from the Sports day event, your child can make their own way home from the Stadium. Alternatively, you are welcome to make arrangements to collect your child. Please email your child’s Head of Year at: admin@st-james.barnet.sch.uk, to notify them of your collection arrangements in advance of the day.

There is no cafeteria provision at the Stadium, therefore, your child should bring a packed lunch and sufficient drinks (not cans or glass bottles) for the day. Pupils eligible for Pupil Premium will be provided with a packed lunch and a drink on the day. Please ensure your child has sun cream and a hat in the event of hot weather.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.

Yours sincerely

Head of Physical Education
