Borough Cross Country Competition 2022

Mr McLaughlin took a team of Y5 and Y6 children to the Borough Cross Country Competition in February. The children had shown great commitment to the event, coming in to school early for training sessions, and they represented the school really well. Congratulations the girls’ Y6 team who came third in the borough. In the individual standings, Leila came third of all the Y6 girls in the borough, Roan was 3^rd for Y5 boys, and Charlie came 5^th for Y5 boys. They were a credit to the school and displayed our PRIDE values and great sportsmanship. Well done, all.
