Inviting schools to bring their children and young people to run, jog, walk or wheel one mile or 2.6K in the heart of London, ahead of the TCS London Marathon last weekend, the TCS Mini London Marathon took place on Saturday 20 April.
Everyone was very excited, not only to be taking part but to be in the heart of London surrounded by the sights and sounds of this wonderful city – it was an incredible atmosphere and remarkable event to be a part of!
Congratulations to all of the students who took part, representing themselves and the School impeccably it was a wonderful achievement for them to part of something so special.
