What an achievement! 🏆

We had a visit from Tim Parkin on Thursday morning from Appleby Rotary Club.

We were presented with a cheque from the Appleby Fun Run that many of our families took part in at the end of June.

We raised a total of £1160 and were the top school for the event.

We are so incredible proud!
The running enthusiasm continues as we continue with running club every Wednesday too.
