Cross Country

With a great tradition in cross-country, we’re regularly turning out teams for a full fixture list of school matches.

The matches involve a number of schools meeting at each venue and allow for a variety of different events, from long relays to single-age group races and open events. The latter are adjusted to allow younger runners the chance to compete against their older rivals.

Matches are often structured to include both boys and girls, as well as younger runners, so everyone has the chance to play a full part in the scoring team.

All participants are encouraged to maximise their talents and are developed through careful tutoring.

The runners train together over a variety of terrains including woodland and the Quantock and Blackdown Hills. Every year, a number take part in county teams at both regional and national level.

Our cross-country runners have gone from strength to strength, with many reaching finals of regional and national events.
