The Griffin Schools Trust proudly unveils the eighth edition of its much-anticipated Griffin Sports Festival (GSF) on 05-06 October. This year’s festival is set to be the most dynamic and spirited yet.

The annual Griffin Sports Festival is a proud tradition that inspires the spirit of fair play, enthusiasm, and unity. Embracing the theme of ‘Energy’ this year, the festival celebrates not only the skills of the participants, but also the resilience and determination of everyone involved, from the Trust’s student-athletes and dedicated staff coaches to the passionate community partners.

This year’s festival explores the very essence of ‘energy’, from comparing the kinetic energy in a sprinter’s dash to the potential energy stored in a coiled spring to the infectious energy that resonates in a team’s cheer.

Sport plays a vital role in the educational journey of young people, fostering teamwork, self-discipline, and resilience. The Griffin Sports Festival acts as a platform for students to explore different sports, discover their interests and talents, and ignite a lifelong passion for physical activity.

Anne Powell, Chief Executive, Griffin Schools Trust, comments:

“The Griffin Sports Festival is just one example of how our family of schools has embraced the vision of Proud Traditions, Wide Horizons and High Achievement.

Through sporting participation, we are nurturing talent, building confidence, and celebrating success, equipping our young Griffins for the myriad of opportunities that lie ahead. The ‘Energy’ theme this year mirrors the enthusiasm our students bring, both in the classroom and on the field.”

Hosted at the illustrious Pingles Stadium, this two-day extravaganza will showcase a plethora of sports, from Athletics and Handball to Curling, Basketball, and a thrilling duathlon. Each primary school within the Trust will be represented by a team of 12 (six boys and six girls), while each secondary school will field two teams of 12.

Every participant will be rewarded with a certificate. Standout performers and teams will be awarded medals, with the top team clinching the coveted GSF Champions Shield. In a continuous effort to champion the spirit of sportsmanship, a special fair play award will be presented to the team that best embodies the GSF pledge.

]]> On Tuesday 13th June, some of our Griffins travelled to Oxford University to compete in the GST National finals.
Our Year 6 Boys’ Team progressed to the finals by winning a basketball competition held here at Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø. They were joined by our KS1 Multi-Skills Team, who won a competition hosted by one of our other Griffin schools, Perry Wood Primary in Worcester.
The day was action packed, with lots of high-quality skills on show. Our basketball team impressed throughout, showing why they made it all the way to the finals. Our KS1 multi-skills team were equally as impressive, showing the grit and determination that got them there in the first place. A special mention goes out to Tasnim, who managed to jump nearly 2 meters from standing. A score that even the adults couldn’t beat!
Everyone at Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø are proud of you, and we cannot wait to return to the finals again next year!

Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø FC played some amazing football, which led our Boys’ Team to the quarter final and our Girls’ to miss out on the quarters by only 1 point!

No matter the results, we are super proud of every boy and girl who played on the day. You all showed our Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø values and represented our school impeccably.

As well as playing football, we also got to tour the home team dressing room, stand in the players tunnel and sit in the dugout.

What a day!
