On 5 – 6 June this year, eight of our members of staff will undertake the formidable National Three Peaks Challenge, aiming to summit the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales within a 24-hour period.
The challenge will be led by Mr Harston and Mr Turner (who is the Coordinator of the ASPIRE Programme) and brings significant experience to the team, having previously competed as an Olympic swimmer. Drawing on skills developed at the highest level of sport – particularly endurance, determination and teamwork.
Joining the challenge are members of our Pastoral Team – Mr Taylor, Mr J Scrimshire, Mr L Scrimshire, Mr Bratt, Ms Sutton and our Headteacher, Mr Bennett all of whom will tackle Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in a test of physical stamina, mental resilience and collective effort. The challenge involves extensive travel, steep ascents and minimal rest, making it a true test of commitment and teamwork.
The team is taking on this challenge to raise vital funds for the ASPIRE Programme. ASPIRE plays a key role in enriching students’ educational experiences by offering a wide range of after-school clubs. These opportunities help to broaden students’ horizons, develop confidence and resilience and encourage participation beyond the classroom.
Mr Turner highlighted the importance of ASPIRE, stating:
“Enabling students to try new activities and have opportunities to participate in sports after school can make a life-changing difference to students who otherwise might not be able to access after-school activities.”
The Pastoral Team is inviting the school community, local partners and supporters to sponsor their Three Peaks Challenge. Every contribution will directly support the ASPIRE Programme and help create lasting, positive impact for our students.
The team would like to thank everyone in advance for their encouragement and generosity as they prepare for this significant challenge. To make a donation please follow this link – https://www.justgiving.com/crow…/pastoral-3-peak-challenge
