Dear Secondary School

RE: Secondary School Games: District Athletics for years 7, 8, 9, and 10/11

I am writing to invite your school to participate in the SSG District Athletics competition to be held at Medway Park, Gillingham on Thursday 20th June 2024 from 9am – 5pm approx. Please note that the times may vary depending on the amount of schools that enter.

The competition will be aimed at pupils in years 7, 8, 9, and 10. There will be two separate events running on the day, one for boys and one for girls.

Medals will be awarded on the day to the winning school teams (1 st /2 nd /3 rd individuals in each event) and points will be awarded and submitted to the overall Medway Secondary School Games results. Each school needs to complete a tick box entry form by the closing date: Thursday 25th May 2023, to give organisers an idea of the number of entries. Plus on the day of the event each school team manager must complete an entry form for both girls and boys including pupil’s names.

If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me on moorec@thehowardschool.co.uk

Kind Regards, Claire Moore and Russell Fairman (SGO's PDM)
