On Thursday 19^th April, a cross country running team of boys from Year 3 – Aiden, Ted R, Ted B, Harrison and  Ollie – went to Hadleigh Park in Banfleet to compete in the county finals.  The boys had qualified as one of the fastest 14 Year 3 teams from all of the primary schools in Essex.  The boys all ran extremely well, coping with the heat on the hottest day of the year and we are very proud of their achievements.  Thank you to all the parents who helped with transport to the event and supported the boys running.
