Every year the PE Department celebrates the sporting success of our students with an Annual Sports Ball. As always, there are lots of exciting awards for all year groups which are shown below and many opportunities for students to achieve them.
This year’s Sports Ball will be held on Friday, 7th July 2023 at The John Day Sports Hall, Wales High School from 7 pm until 10.30 pm. The evening will consist of the presentation of awards, a guest speaker from the world of sport, student performances, a raffle, a disco and much more; there will be no food provided on the evening, however, there will be a licensed bar where you can purchase drinks. Parents are encouraged to attend. The aim of the evening is to enjoy ourselves and celebrate the sporting achievements of our talented and committed young people.

We do have restrictions on numbers, therefore, please make your payment as soon as possible to guarantee tickets. All payments must be made through our online system.
