London Marathon
Congratulations to our year 5&6 pupils who completed the mini marathon last Saturday. It was an amazing experience for them all and a fantastic day in London! A massive well done to Miss Wyatt who ran all 26.2 miles through the streets of London on Sunday and finished the London marathon in an amazing time of 4 hours and 29 minutes. What a brilliant role model for all of our future marathon runners!
We are very proud of Team Broadford.
