The run is now a fixture in the school calendar - it's the third year that a team from the school has entered to raise money for the hospital, which has supported one of their pupils through cancer. This time they have set an ambitious target of £3,000.

Christian McGuinness, headteacher, said:

“We are very aware of how many of our families need the services of the hospital at one time or another. It’s such a fun and positive way to give something back to the hospitals and seeing where the money goes each year gives us a real boost."

“I would urge anyone to take part in the OX5 Run, whether you are a runner, walker or a mixture of both. It’s a fantastic event that is at the real heart of the community.”
