Primary MegaMAT Games makes a splash

Pupils from 17 primary schools across Furness have enjoyed a new swimming competition backed by the South Cumbria Multi-Academy Trust

The Year 3 to 6 pupils took part in the Primary MegaMAT Games Swimming Gala at Barrow Leisure Centre organised by Chetwynde School.

Winners medals were handed out to pupils from schools including Holy Family, Yarlside, Parkside, Lindal and Marton, Dane Ghyll, Victoria Academy, Low Furness, Newbarns, Pennington, St Mary’s Ulverston and Chetwynde.

Organiser Katy Costa, who is the Head of Key Stage 2 at Chetwynde, said the event had been extremely well supported by the schools and their parents.

“Parents have said to me that it is so good to see their children taking part in competitive sport after such a long absence and the children have swum brilliantly.

“We are lucky at Chetwynde to have regular access to the pool at Barrow Leisure Centre and it was fantastic for our pupils to share it with their friends from other schools.”

The Primary MegaMAT games is a full calendar of multi-sports competitions including hockey, netball, swimming and a host of other sports. It is organised by Chetwynde, which joined the Furness College-led SCMAT in September last year.

Winners of the Swimming Gala were presented with their prizes by SCMAT CEO and Executive Headteacher Professor Andrew Wren in the sports hall following the event.

“It has been wonderful to witness this gala with competitors full of passion and enthusiasm for swimming and generally everyone having a fantastic time through sport,” he said.

“This event was open to all primary schools across the area and I am delighted to see so many taking part in a competition that celebrates achievement and ambition.”
