To win 4 of the 8 categories is an outstanding achievement so my congratulations firstly go to all of our medallists for their success.

Equally as impressive were all of our other runners who ran with great determination and spirit too on a testing course with an unforgiving hill close to the finish! The camaraderie amongst the team was also excellent with each pupil cheering one another along and we were backed by an impressive turn out of parents who played their part in a superb afternoon for the school. Finally, a big thank you to Miss Robbins for all of her help in assisting me with all of the runners on the day.
