Elston Shines at the Commonwealth Games!

Before the event began, our school proudly took part in the opening ceremony, completing a lap of the athletics track while showcasing our school flag, which was beautifully designed and created by the children.

A fantastic 21 pupils from across the school represented Elston at the Trust's Commonwealth Games, held at Aldersley Leisure Village. Throughout the day, they competed with determination, enthusiasm and great sportsmanship in a variety of events, including obstacle races, sprint and long-distance running, egg and spoon races, and relay races.

We are incredibly proud of every child who took part. Their hard work and perseverance were rewarded with an outstanding 20 medals: 9 gold, 8 silver and 3 bronze.

A special shout-out goes to our Year 6 pupils, who represented Elston for the final time. Thank you for being such wonderful role models over the years—we will miss you dearly and wish you every success in the future.

Well done, Team Elston! We couldn't be prouder. 💚
