On Friday 26 September 2025, the whole school came together to take part in our annual Race for Life charity event in support of Cancer Research. In the lead-up to the day, tutor time sessions helped students learn more about cancer, its treatments, and the importance of fundraising in the fight against it.

The event itself was a brilliant showcase of community spirit. Students from Years 7–13 walked or ran laps around the school fields, aiming to complete as many circuits as possible within the hour. Everyone joined in the spirit of the occasion by wearing pink—whether it was socks, headbands, tutus or even face paint—creating a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere. Staff lined the course to cheer students on, with many also running alongside them.

Donations were collected both through sponsorships and individual contributions, with some students managing to complete more than five laps. The enthusiasm, energy and determination on display were inspiring, and it was fantastic to see the whole school working together towards such an important cause.

We are delighted to announce that, thanks to the generosity of our students, staff and wider community, we raised an incredible £2647 for Cancer Research. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and supported this event—you truly made a difference!
