Mrs Newing Triumphs in The London Marathon

Mrs Newing Triumphs in The London Marathon  

In a remarkable display of resilience and hard work, Mrs Newing our Headteacher conquered the iconic London Marathon and she crossed the finish line in a commendable time of 5 hours 10 minutes.

Mrs Newing's participation in The London Marathon was not merely about running a race, it was a platform to raise funds and awareness for Children with Cancer UK, a cause that resonates deeply with her and our school community.

Our Headteacher's dedication and perseverance paid off and so far, she has raised an impressive £2,494 for Children with Cancer UK. Her fundraising efforts did not stop with her own participation in the marathon. Inspired by her dedication, pupils from Year 4 and Year 5 enthusiastically raised funds with their Enterprise Stalls. These young champions contributed their funds to this great cause.

Mrs Newing's marathon journey serves as an inspiration to us all, reminding us of the transformative power of perseverance, generosity and empathy. May her example continue to motivate us to reach beyond ourselves and to make a meaningful difference in the world around us.

Well done Mrs Newing on this remarkable achievement and also to the generosity of our Enterprise Stall Champions.

We would like to extend a massive thank you to all the children and parents who donated and supported these initiatives. Your generosity has played a crucial role in this endeavour. Remember, there is still time to contribute, and every little bit helps to make a difference. You can donate here:
