Cross-Country
The Sixth Form cross country takes place in the Autumn and Spring term for those pupils in Year 12 and 13 who do not wish to play team sports. We meet four times a week in all weathers and follow a specialist fitness programme to suit all abilities, which gradually builds stamina and fitness. The runs take place both over our school grounds and around the neighbouring countryside. Fun races and relay events also take place to break up the training programme with some shorter, faster pace runs.

Mammoth Trophy Sat' 15th January
A team of seven, five boys two girls, competed in this gruelling 5 mile event around Clatworthy Reservoir. After a strong start Michael Pepper was unfortunately forced to retire injured, but Bradley Fowler ran a very strong race to come second overall. Tory Margesson ran a determined race to win the girls event shortly followed by Holly Davis. Adam Routledge and Will Coone both ran well finishing high up the order. Early days but an encouraging start for the team. The event was unsurprisingly won by Millfield.
