Cross Country House Matches
Our pupils kicked off this year’s Cross Country House Matches on Tuesday 21st October as they took on the 3.5km around the school field and off site in the beautiful countryside around our school.
Mr Hulley & Miss Senior said ‘Cross Country is probably one of the most challenging events out of all the House Matches that run across the year. This event not only showcases the physical ability of our students, but also helps our students to show respect towards each other, perseverance when pushing themselves outside their comfort zone, integrity by having the common goal of getting House points, and kindness by supporting others in their personal excellence’.
Top performers will be considered for the district competition on 14th November at Oldfield Middle School, with the potential to go to the County Cross Country Championships. Successful students then have the potential to compete in the English Schools Competitions.
Well done to everyone who participated, the conditions of the course were challenging and we are really proud of everyone who achieved their targets. It was great to see our students cross the finish line full of pride. A final thank you goes to those who volunteered on the day to marshal.
Here are the winners:
