R J Mitchell Primary School

Dear Parents/Guardians, 

RJMP Sports Day – Wednesday 9th July 2025 9.15am

EYFS, KS1, KS2, Franklin 1 and Franklin 2 will be competing during the morning session and we will be starting the Sports Day at 9.15am.

Hillary Nurture Class 9.30-10.00am in the school hall, 10.00-10.30am in the Reception Garden

Bennett Nurture Class 10.00-10.30 in the school hall, 10.30-11.00am in the Reception Garden

Freeborn Nature Class 10.30-11.00 in the school hall, 11.00-11.30 in the Reception Garden

The nurture classes will have an ‘al-fresco’ style snack after their sessions.

We would like to invite you to watch your child(ren) during sports day. We will be holding an ‘al-fresco’ style lunch with pupils eating their packed lunch on the school field and we extend an invitation for you to join your child(ren) during lunchtime with a picnic. Please bring your own food and soft drinks. There will be no hot dinners served from the kitchen, baguettes will be served and children will have the choice of Tuna, Ham or Cheese. Lunch will be held at 12:15 pm  until 1:00 pm for all year groups.  

There will be a refreshment stall on the day, where we will be offering hot and cold drinks, a selection of crisps and sweets, hot dogs and burgers with vegetarian options also on offer.  For ordering purposes, any hot food will need to be purchased via ParentPay by Friday 4th July 2025.  Hot food will be priced at £3.50 per item.

Children will be participating in their P.E. kit, but if possible, please arrange for them to bring in a T shirt that is connected to the colour of their house. There may have been changes to groups this year due to unfair distribution of children, as children have left/joined over the years. Please note houses are not allocated according to families therefore it is possible siblings may be in different houses.  We will put your child’s house and colour on their google classroom.

Please ensure your child has weather appropriate clothing, for example a sun cap and sun cream or waterproof jacket and warm sweatshirt etc. Please also provide your child with plenty of water. If persistent heavy rain is forecast we will reschedule for a later date. 

Please also note that children will need to remain at school and normal collection procedures will apply. I would like to thank you for your continued support and look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 9th July 2025 for what should be an exciting sporting day. 

If you are unable to attend your child’s sports day or stay for the picnic on the field, your child will be with school staff and will still be able to enjoy the school picnic/packed lunch.

Yours faithfully, 

Ms V Morris

Executive Head Teacher
