Year 7 and 8 took part in the official Mini Marathon in Schools on Wednesday afternoon, completing a 2-mile run. Each student wore a personalised race bib, with Geny K (Y7) winning a prize for best design.

Many collected sponsorship in aid of Noah's Ark Children's Hospice, raising over £285 so far via JustGiving. 

All participants received a London Mini Marathon pin badge and certificate. Prizes were awarded to Molly H (Y7) and Polly D (Y8) for fastest runners, Sofia C (Y8) for most improved, and Cici R (Y7) for most money raised.

It was a fantastic effort from all involved and a brilliant afternoon. Well done!

Mr Ward, Teacher of PE at Queenswood, will be running the London Marathon on Sunday, also in support of Noah's Ark. Having visited the Ark multiple times in the last few months, he has seen first-hand how appreciative the charity is of the effort and support Queenswood provides, and the impact our vital fundraising is making.

If you would like to sponsor Mr Ward, you can do so here. All donations will be greatly appreciated.
