National School Sport Week starts on Monday, June 20, and its aim is to celebrate its power to bring people together, especially after the pandemic.
We are taking up the baton by looking back at sports days at Hudson Road School, Seaburn Dene Primary, Wessington Primary and Bernard Gilpin Primary as well as many more.
So jump to it and have a browse through some winning memories.
