Cross Country

The yearly Cross Country event will take place this term with the date yet to be confirmed. Students will have the opportunity to train for this event during their PE lessons, however, it would be wonderful to also encourage your children to train for this event outside of school. Further information regarding Cross Country will be provided in the upcoming weeks. Please see the information below for times and distances.
