Islington Borough Athletics Competition
Published: Mon 13 July 2026Following the success of the Islington Borough Athletics Competition, seven COLAI students were selected to represent the whole of Islington at the London Schools Athletics Competition.
Held at Mile End Park, the students competed in a range of track and field events, aiming to earn points for Islington. Facing some of the top junior athletes in London, they delivered outstanding performances. Not only did they demonstrate determination and commitment to making themselves and their teammates proud, but they also showed excellent sportsmanship, conducting themselves with integrity in both victory and defeat.
A special mention goes to Tayo, who won gold and is now the Year 8 London Schools Long Jump Champion. Being selected to represent the borough from among thousands of students is a significant achievement. It is one that our students should be incredibly proud of, and one that the Academy is delighted to celebrate.
