Sport

At Witham St Hughs Academy, we believe it is crucial that children are provided with opportunities to compete and participate in a range of different sporting activities and competitions. We know that these opportunities will give children the chance to showcase their skills and abilities as well as to learn new sports in an environment where they will be challenged and also play against other schools. We want children to be the best they can be and achieve the best they can in line with our Academy values!

See below for a snapshot of some of the competition that has taken place recently.
