Sports Day and Founders' Day 2026

Friday, 19th June was one of the busiest and most important of the school year - Founders' Day and Sports Day, which fortunately took place just before the recent heatwave arrived!

The morning of Founder's Day saw Year 7 and 8 students retracing the steps of thousands of students before them in walking to and from the Buckingham Parish Church to honour the heritage of our school. 

Then, in the afternoon the whole school come together for Sports Day, with the awarding of the Victor and Victrix Ludorum cups and the announcement of the winning House overall. New school records broken included Albert in Year 9's record-breaking 12.05m shot put throw, Joe in Year 10's massive javelin throw of 51.3m (breaking a 19-year-old record), and Daniel in Year 8's 15-year-old record-breaking high jump of 1.56m! The junior Victor and Victrix Ludorums were Daneil and Ini in Year 8, and the senior Victor and Ludorums wer Lem and Isabella in Year 10.

Congratulations to Ruding and all the competitors and record breakers.
