Alder Grange has gone sports mad recently - when AG CATS haven’t been busy being one of the best cheerleading teams in the country, we’ve been raising money for sports relief and running the distance from Beijing to London. 

This makes it no surprise that the annual sports day was a success, with loads of people getting involved. Django Back, year 10, competed in the relay race and came third. He said that “sports day is always enjoyable”. 

Emma Pickup, after doing triple jump, said that “sports day is always a fun thing to do”. 

Apart from a slight injury by Mr Butterworth after putting slightly too much effort into the triple jump, it’s fair to say that this year’s sports day was a great one - even though it was our last one ever! 

Well done to everyone who took part.

Sports day was filmed in its entirety by year 10 media students. Keep your eyes peeled on our Facebook page or ask Andrew Gentry for more info.


 
Well, hasn’t that gone quick? The school year has come to a close and the long, sweaty, relaxing, 6 week-long holiday is just around the corner. 

This year we’ve gone through prefect training, GCSE exams, enterprise week, sports day, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions... among pretty much everything else in between. 

From everyone here at the AGN, we hope you’ve had a great year and have an amazing break. Come back refreshed in September!

You may remember our past story about 18-year-old Alder Grange pupil Josh Simpson carrying the Olympic flame. 

Some of us thought it may be extinguished with the heavy rain, but he’s done it! 

He ran through Lancaster on 22nd June, and even donated his torch to the school afterwards. Mr Hulland and Mr Hampson nominated Josh after noticing how dedicated he was to sport and his local community.
