A huge thank you to all our wonderful families who joined us on Sunday 16th November for our first-ever Junior Parkrun takeover at Churchill Gardens. With over 70 BSJ children taking part — an incredible third of the whole school — the morning had such a joyful, buzzing atmosphere. The children ran, walked and skipped their way around the 2km course, while staff teamed up with the regular Parkrun volunteers to help run the event. It was brilliant to see so many parents cheering, supporting and getting involved, and we’re proud to have been the first primary school in Salisbury to take on a Junior Parkrun takeover! It was the second highest number of runners ever at Salisbury and the first time they have had over 200 runners in 6 and a half years!
We hope the experience has inspired families to come along again on Sunday mornings — Junior Parkrun is free, friendly and a lovely way to start the day together. Thank you once again for making it such a memorable community moment for BSJ 🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏃‍➡️🏃‍♂️‍➡️

We hope to see lots of you there - members of staff will be cheering the runners on around the course so look out for them in their high vis jackets! Briefing and warm up starts at 8:50am. More information about the course can be found here: https://www.parkrun.org.uk/churchillgardens-juniors/

I will be taking photos for the Salisbury journal so could children please wear either their school PE kit or a PE hoody if possible. Please let me know on the day if you do not want your child/children in the photos.

Lastly, don’t forget to register! Your child will need to scan the barcode on your phone after they finish. https://www.parkrun.org.uk/register/

Keep on jogging,
