The 2019 Orchard Run Cross Country competition was another great success, with the most competitors yet. The weather was a lot better this year with just a tiny shower at the end. The SVPS pupils set the tone for good sportsmanship and once again took control of the racing. Out of 24 medals, we won 12 of them!
The boys and girls from each age group ran together, starting from the School’s sports field and going up the hill into the orchard. Running through and around the orchard and back to the top of the field, where they could see the finish line. By the time they had gone around the football pitches and netball courts to the finish, they had run a mile.
As always, it is lovely to see so many schools and runners competing in the Orchard Run, which we love hosting. This event takes a lot of organising and our team of teaching staff, groundsman, kitchen staff and the wonderful Parents Association work so well together, it runs like clockwork! It would not happen without everyone!
Congratulations to the winners Goudhurst and Kilndown Junior School who won the visitors trophy
