Sports Day was a family affair at Bovington Academy this year as the sun shone for the games and races.
Students from across all year groups participated in a number of events including egg and spoon, a sack race, relay and obstacle course.

Emma Drake, Bovington’s sports lead, told the Dorset Echo: “It was a great day and one the parents enjoyed as much as the students. It was lovely to have family being able to watch again for the first time post-Covid.
