House Competitions

Although our House competitions traditionally are played in the Summer term, this is an early fixture for our intra-school competition programme. This enables Mr Mackay to select our swimmers for the inter-school games which takes place in the Spring term. This proved to be an extremely close event with Armstrong, Kirkpatrick and Wouldhave all being joint winners. The gala was enjoyed by all who took part.

South Tyneside Swimming Gala

This was held on the 12th February at Haven Point and featured entries from 13 teams from different schools. Mortimer won a gold medal in the girls’ freestyle and bronze medals in both the boys’ freestyle and backstroke. Mortimer’s team did well enough to secure a place in the South of Tyne finals including Gateshead LA which will be held in March. Well done our swimming team.
