Five out of the seven Year 7 students that took part in the Swindon team trials on 18th June have qualified. Congratulations to Tiya (100m), Chloe (100m), Muryllo (shot put), Nicholas (long jump) and Morgan (javelin). They will go on to represent Swindon on 28th July.

On 27th June the Year 9 and 10 athletics teams competed at the County Ground. 11 Nova students gained a top 3 place; special congratulations to Georgia Hancock for coming first in javelin, and Jack Rockett who came first in both 1500m and triple jump, making them both Swindon champions!

The Year 9 girls team won the event overall and became the first ever Nova team to be Swindon champions! This is an amazing achievement, the girls worked incredibly hard all day and put in a fantastic performance. Special thanks also to Kieron Taylor for stepping in as substitute in the 200m and putting in a sterling performance
