Rain Can't 'Dampen' Spirits at Cross Country!

Despite persitant rain all day it was incredible to see over 500 children showing resillience & enthusiasm during our School Games Cross Country event. 

Part of the School games program & held at the picturesque Taverham Hall, runners from Year 3 to 6 braved the tricky conditions and yet still had great fun as despite the rain they displayed some fantastic spirit, enthusiasm & determination. 

In the team event, Taverham 'A' emerged victorious after an amazing number of Top 10 finishes - but credit to Reepham & Drayton Jnr in 2nd and 3rd resepctively who ran them close. Resullts are attached to this email. 

All of the runners who finished in the Top 10 of each race have qualified to represent WNDSSP at the Norfolk School Games County finals on March 6th at Holkham Hall - congratulations to the 80 children who will be part of our team!
