On Sunday 22 September, 17 pupils from Gresham’s, including 15 School Prefects, participated in the ‘Only the Brave’ charity obstacle course race in Thetford.

The event challenged participants with a combination of physical endurance and mental toughness across a series of obstacles. The Gresham’s team took on two different versions of the race, with five participants completing the 6-mile course and the remaining twelve tackling the more demanding 10-mile version.

Joining the pupils were Mr. Cox and Mr. Burnett, who also took part in the challenge. Their collective efforts were not only impressive but also for a great cause. The team successfully raised £1700 in support of the East Anglian Air Ambulance, an organisation that provides critical emergency services across Norfolk, Suffolk, Bedfordshire, and Cambridgeshire.

A huge well done to all the pupils and staff who took part in this fantastic event, showcasing both their commitment to helping others and their resilience in overcoming a tough physical challenge.
