Yesterday, a talented group of our Year 5 and Year 6 children represented St Augustine’s at the Darlington Primary Swimming Gala, and we could not be more proud of their achievements.

From the very first race, our pupils demonstrated outstanding self‑belief, determination and team spirit. Each child gave their absolute best in the pool, showing resilience, focus and an eagerness to support one another throughout the event.

Their hard work truly paid off, as the team secured several individual medals as well as success in the relay events. We are also delighted to share that St Augustine’s finished third overall—a fantastic accomplishment against strong competition.

A huge well done to every member of the team. Your dedication, effort and sportsmanship were inspiring, and you represented our school with pride.
