The final Legacy Festival of the academic year has taken place at Gordano School, marking the culmination of a vibrant series of events aimed at supporting the transition of primary school students to secondary education. This last festival, held for Years 5 and 6, focused on Disc Sports and featured a mix of engaging throwing and catching activities, progressing into exciting ‘ultimate games’.

Over the course of the year, primary pupils have enjoyed a wide range of sports and activities hosted at Gordano, including archery, laser run, girls’ football, physical literacy ‘multi skills’, and athletics. The Legacy Festivals form a key part of Gordano School’s Outreach Programme, which helps younger students build confidence and familiarity with the secondary school environment through sport.

Emma Harradine, Head of PE at Gordano School, praised the effort and spirit shown by participants: “Each participant displayed incredible enthusiasm and determination, and we would like to congratulate all the young students for their efforts. Each participant will be awarded a certificate to acknowledge their hard work and dedication.”

Shane German, North Somerset School Games Organiser and Primary PE Association Lead, also reflected on the event’s impact: “Thank you once again to all who made this event a success. We look forward to seeing more primary students at future events and continuing to support the growth of these young athletes.”

The Legacy Festivals have proven a valuable and inspiring experience for all involved, and Gordano School looks forward to continuing its work with its local primary schools in the next academic year.
