See how your school fared in the Gloucestershire School Games

And for the first time the event, which is part of the national Sainsbury’s School Games, began with an opening ceremony at Gloucester’s iconic cathedral.

Over the next four days the stage was set for secondary schools, primary and special schools to battle it out for medals in 19 different sports across several different venues including the South Cerney Outdoor Education Centre.

Events for primary school pupils included sportshall athletics, Kwik cricket and rounders, whilst secondary school pupils tried their hand at a host of sports including basketball, badminton, rowing, sailing, windsurfing, mountain biking and archery.

Ashton Keynes and Leckhampton Primary tied equal in the top spot for the primary schools with one gold and a silver medal each.

Stroud-based Katharine Lady Berkley school dominated the secondary school medal table, with 10 gold, five silver and four bronze medals. Kingshill school went home with five gold medals while The Cotswold School struck gold three times.

And Belmont and Alderman Knight both took equal first for the special schools with 12 gold medals. Paternoster school in Cirencester enjoyed podium success with four gold medals.

The event was organised by Active Gloucestershire in partnership with the University of Gloucestershire and local school games organisers.

Games organiser Kirsty Dunleavy, children and young people manager for Active Gloucestershire said: “The Gloucestershire School Games have gone brilliantly this year and the weather, unlike last year, has been superb.

"The schools' pupils and head teachers have really embraced the School Games values and we have managed to build on the platform that was created last year.”
