This annual event challenges every pupil to run a short distance around the Senior School grounds while being supported by their peers.   It is always a very jolly affair, with a fun group warm-up to start, and everyone who takes part and completes the course (regardless of their time) receives points for their House.   Of course, for Miss Weeks, the Head of Junior School PE, it is one of the best days of her year and she can’t stop herself running alongside the girls and loudly cheering everyone on.   This year, with a clear 50-point lead, the winning House was Discoverer.  Date Posted: 23 September, 2021 [Share](http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/junior-school-cross-country-event) ## Articles for: Junior, Sport ![It's double pointes for our Year 5 twins](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Hoyle%20twins.png?width=770&name=Hoyle%20twins.png) **It's double pointes for our Year 5 twins** Date Posted: 4 October, 2021 Two of our Junior School pupils, Evelyn and Isla, have recently been invited to join The Royal Ballet School’s Junior...
