Running for the planet

---

The London Mini Marathon for schools was held in line with Earth Day 2026 which is celebrated on 22 April every year.

Each form, from Year 7 to Year 10, had to decide on an environmental pledge to adhere to. This included switching off all lights when leaving the classroom, walking to school and limiting food waste where possible; as well as nominating a representative to run the 2-mile course.

The school field was packed with supporters, both staff and students, cheering on runners with endless enthusiasm.

The event showcased teamwork, determination and a shared commitment to protecting our planet, with a Year 7 runner describing the event as the “most exciting of the year so far!"
