Giggleswick School hosts North v South virtual inter-school fixture
Last weekend saw the first ever North v South virtual inter-school fixture hosted by Giggleswick School. Representing the North were Giggleswick School, Ashville College and RGS Newcastle, and from the South were Dulwich Prep London, St Pauls School and KCS Wimbledon. The fixture was available to all pupils ranging from Year 3 to 13 and included running, biking and walking challenges specific to each year group.
Director of Sport, Ed Buck, said: “We wanted to host a national virtual fixture which encourages physical activity to support pupil’s wellbeing and maintain activity levels, whilst providing elite and competitive opportunities.
“The event was a huge success in terms of participation with 500 entries from the six schools. The distance travelled by pupils, siblings and supportive parents as they took on the challenges was particularly impressive.
“The results could not have been closer with one point dividing the North and South (17-16). However, the wider scale of the event and participation was the real winner and success story.”
