Years 3 & 4 Sports Day warming up for lift-off

Sports Day for Years 3 and 4 is warming up to be a hot one, if the other school events so far this June are anything to go by.

Parents will have noticed that Battersea Park is undergoing a transformation into a race-track for the Formula E race next weekend and some have panicked that this will have a knock-on effect on our Sports Day in the Millennium Arena.

Please rest assured that Sports Day will happen, in the Millennium Arena as planned - just with less parking! Otherwise, the only changes to usual practice are:

• entrance by Chelsea Bridge entrance ONLY
• only 50% parking capacity in northern carpark only; parents are advised to travel by public transport
• walk down East Carriage drive to usual entrance of the Millennium Arena
• surrounding streets (PoW Drive, Lurline Gardens etc) have been made Residents' Only so there is NO PARKING here

We are looking forward to seeing as many parents as can make it!
