Maths teacher Stephen Ready will complete four 10k and half marathon races in just a couple of months to fundraise for students who are off to Africa on a volunteer trip.
Mr Ready started with the Bath half marathon in February, followed by a 10k run in Naseby (where he knocked three minutes off his lifetime best) and then another 10k run in Brixworth in March.

         

On April 6th, he will be joined by Head of House Meg Kedie and the Principal’s PA Amy Brooks for the Sheffield half marathon. They are fundraising for the Camps International Tanzania trip that a group of Year 11 and sixth formers are going on over the summer. During their time there, they will work on local community and conservation projects but in order to go, they have to raise more than £3,000 each.



Mr Ready said: “The trip will give students the opportunity to do voluntary work and have some amazing experiences. We want to do our bit to ensure they get the money to be able to go. If anyone would like to contribute they can hand in money in to the office or contact me.”
Other teachers are also donning their training kit in the name of charity – Jason Mitchell-Bunce is looking to complete his first official 10k run in almost 30 years. He is hoping to raise money for the Myotubular Trust, a charity close to the heart of former photography teacher Mike Leski because his son suffers from Myotubular Myopathy.

In addition, two other members of staff – Natasha Franklin and Claire Siddall  - are taking on this this weekend’s Sport Relief run. To sponsor them, click here: https://my.sportrelief.com/sponsor/tasha-and-claires--mile
