Congratulations to the 25 pupils who took part in the Dorset cross-country championships last week. With 3 cross-country races cancelled this season it was the first time many had run competitively since September. Putting nerves aside and battling the cold conditions, they attacked the course with determination and showed incredible perseverance. Particular mention to Lila and Jacob, Year 6; Sienna and Josh, Year 7; Florence and Elliott, Year 8 who were the first runners across the finish line for Allenbourn. We wait to hear if Florence gets picked for the Dorset team to compete at the Southwest Championship.

Finally, special thanks to Mrs Hine for her work with the runners and all the background organisation
