In total, the Wood Fold pupils won an impressive four gold, eight silver and two bronze medals in both track and field events.

Mr Carr, the school’s sports co-ordinator said, ‘We are proud of all the children who have represented Wood Fold for their hard work and effort displayed, and we would also like to thank all the parents for their continued support throughout the competition.’
