An entire Cambridgeshire primary school limbered up for a huge fun run at the end of term.

Headteacher Helen Bartley said: “What a fantastic day. All our children, staff and parents showed enthusiasm, grit and determination and had such a great time.

“A massive thank you goes to Simon Burnett and Miss Bellwood for putting together an amazing event – and to all staff, children, parents and grandparents who participated, promoted and supported.

“It really was a joyous day despite the rainy weather in the morning – as a headteacher, I have never been prouder.”

Parents said the event was inspiring and they were all delighted to see the school come together so well.

Event organiser Katie Bellwood said: “Thank you to everyone who took part.

“It was a brilliant day that hopefully the children will remember for a long time.”

Year 4 Pupil Will said: “I ran five miles and it was the best day ever!”

Mrs Bartley added: “Despite the rain, we did it – and did it with aplomb.

“The children pushed themselves further than they ever realised they could.

“Cars, buses, tractors and lorries honked as they drove past and money rolled in throughout the day. What a great way to end the spring term!”
