Thanks to the Central Warwickshire School Sports Partnership, around 1,000 children aged four to 13 from 30 schools have taken part in indoor agility or outdoor athletics from which the winners of each competition have qualified to represent Central Warwickshire in the School Games county finals in July.

Children in reception have also had the opportunity to join in the fun this year, taking part in a circuit of activities similar to the agility ones, including jumping, running and throwing.

This is the first year that children this young have been to an event of such a large size.

Years 3/4 and 7/8 have competed in outdoors athletics challenges - sprints, long distance, long jump, discus, javelin and relays.
