As current parents will know, the wellington boot race for parent and daughter is a key event at Sports Day! For those of you new to Falkner House, the wellington boot race is a very eccentric tradition which requires parents to make sure that you have a pair of wellington boots that fit either one of you. The intention of the race is for your child to run to you in your wellington boots, they then take them off, give them to you and you run on to the finish! We would make a request for no cut down, rolled down or mini wellingtons as these are very much not in the spirit of the race.

Children and their families are asked to arrive at Battersea Park 10.45 am. There is no school beforehand. At that point the form teachers will be waiting to register the children. Please note that the form relays start promptly at 11.00 am.
