Gloucester Schools’ Cross Country County Team – Success

 On a sunny Sunday morning on the 8th March, it was a pleasure to take our Gloucester City Team to the county cross-country championships in Cheltenham. They were a credit to all our Gloucester Primary Schools, putting in the best team performance ever recorded.

To see the complete focus and determination on their faces made me feel so very proud of each and every one of them. It was a difficult course, with a very steep hill section, but every single athlete managed to finish

A big thank you to our team sponsors – SchoolPro TLC ( Leadership Capacity), who sent the team this message: “We are proud to support Team Gloucester by sponsoring the running tops that will be worn by athletes at the County Schools Cross Country event on Sunday 8th March.
Supporting young athletes and encouraging participation in school sport is something we’re passionate about, and we are delighted to play a small part in helping students represent their schools and county. We wish all competitors the very best of luck and look forward to seeing Team Gloucester proudly wearing their running tops throughout the season”.

Our results were: 12 children selected and reaching the National Championships – that’s a quarter of our squad!

Team performances:
Year 4/5 boys: 3rd
Year 4/5 girls: 2nd
Year 6 boys: 2nd
Year 6 girls: 1st

2nd Overall – what a great team performance! 

Well Done Team Gloucester!!!!
