Headteacher Martyn Wells said: “All of our children (and adults) participated – walking, running or jogging and the aim is for all of the children to complete a mile.

“It’s really warming to see that our love of being active is also helping to support so many important organisations, especially during these difficult times and cost of living crisis. It’s a real testament to our school community.”
