On Saturday 25th April 2026, we hosted our first Pembroke Education event: a collaborative Athletics Challenge bringing together pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6 from Clifton High School and The Downs Preparatory School.
The participating children embraced the fun sense of healthy competition to show spirit, energy and teamwork in supporting each other in the activities.
It was a tremendous success and a fantastic opportunity to launch the Pembroke Education partnership between the two schools.
The warm sunshine was truly indicative of the event itself, and we look forward to many more shared events and sporting opportunities in the future.
