Dear Parents / Carers
We are writing to you with regard to the upcoming Arts and Media School, Islington Sports Day. On Tuesday 4th July we are organizing a sports day for all students from Year 7-10 at Finsbury Park Athletics Stadium. We are very excited about this event, as in the past it has been a huge sporting success and a great day out for the students.
All students are expected to attend this event as if it was a normal school day. The usual school attendance and punctuality procedures will apply and any unauthorized absences will be followed up. Students will be expected to arrive at school at 8.40am (normal time) to register with their form tutors. They will then be escorted to the venue. The sports day will finish at approximately 1.30pm. Students will be dismissed directly from Finsbury Park.
Due to the high value and importance that we place on healthy lifestyles and community responsibility, we require all students to take part in at least one event at sports day. If a student is unable to take part for medical reasons a medical note will be required by the school, prior to the event.
Students will be required to attend the sports day in their school PE kit. This should include a school PE shirt, shorts or tracksuit bottoms and appropriate trainers for participating in sporting activity. Students may also wish to bring extra clothing for wet or hot weather depending on the conditions on the day. Students that attend wearing inappropriate clothing will be sent home to change, and expected to return.
Those students who qualify for free school meals will have sandwiches and drinks provided at the venue. We suggest all students bring a bottle of water and sun cream if the forecast is for sunshine.
We are looking forward to this exciting opportunity for our school community and very much appreciate your support in making this event a success. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the school by phone or email Mr Panayiotou on p.panayiotou@amsi.school
