Pupils have a ball at sports event in Skegness
Competitions were hosted as part of the Grammar School’s games programme, an initiative funded by Sport England and delivered by the Youth Sport Trust.
The programme is designed to keep competitive sport at the heart of schools by providing opportunities for young people to take part in competitions and achieve their personal best.

As part of a final event, pupils took part in a sports hall athletics tournament.
Following a closely fought competition, Friskney All Saints Church of England Primary School was named the Small School winner, and Horncastle Community Primary School was crowned the Large School champion.
As a result of their success, both teams will represent the Lincolnshire coastal area during a countywide competition this summer.
