Year 8 students and mascots at the launch of March Miles A FUNDRAISING fitness challenge aims to clock up 8,000 miles by motivating students and staff to walk, cycle or run throughout March. Richmond School and Sixth Form College has launched March Miles and hopes to raise cash for the Great North Air Ambulance and to help refurbish the school s fitness room with inclusive equipment. The initiative, organised by PE teachers Jack Moore and Helen Southgate, is in memory of Dave Clark, the school’s former deputy headteacher who was a keen sportsman and lover of the great outdoors. With dwindling levels of motivation for regular exercise reported in the media, it is vitally important that students are keeping active and the March Miles challenge will provide a new incentive and drive to get the school community moving again.
