Bishop’s Strive and Succeed at Enfield Cross Country Event

Our core Strive for Five values of consideration, respect, loyalty, responsibility and success were on show for all to see at the recent athletics event at Trent Country Park.  Cross country running is a physically and mentally tough event and we were very proud to see the resilience of our students across all year groups competing at the highest level.

Lower school students ran 3,000m and upper school students a 3,500m distance through wild terrain and dense forests.  With four major uphill climbs the race was challenging and extreme.  All of students competed well in the strong field of competitors with outstanding performances from Year 7 Sheldon (7^th), Year 8 Julia (16^th), and Year 11 Yevhennia (8^th).  Students ranking in the Top 10 are considered exceptional performers.
