Oystermouth Primary pupils have been flying the flag for the school in recent athletics events, showing talent, determination and true team spirit across a series of competitions held at Ashleigh Road athletics track.
Area Athletics Competition – A Close Finish!
On Tuesday 17th June, 24 pupils from Dosbarths Three Cliffs, Oxwich & Rhossili took part in the Area Sports Competition. The sun shone on a fantastic day of sport, and our pupils rose to the occasion across a wide range of events including sprints, relay, 800m, long jump, high jump and shot put.
Oystermouth pupils gave it their all, with many finishing in the top three of their events and racking up valuable points for the school. Thanks to their brilliant efforts, the school finished in second place overall, just three points behind the winners, Cwmrhydyceirw. A fantastic achievement!
Well done to everyone who took part, and a special thank you to Macsen, Amber and Ava H. who stepped in at the last minute to replace injured teammates.

A huge thank you to the parents and grandparents who supported these events by transporting pupils to and from the venue – we couldn’t do it without you.
We are so proud of all our pupils for their hard work, enthusiasm and sportsmanship. Da iawn pawb!
