We are encouraging our Year 8 students to participate in this fun event.
I am very excited to inform you of our plans to take part in the Race-for-Life ‘Pretty Muddy’ 5K event in Southampton this summer, and we would love your child – and yourselves – to join us in participating in the event and raising money for a cause close to all our hearts, Cancer Research.
This event involves running or walking 5 kilometres, whilst tackling obstacles and getting muddy!
Date – Saturday 21 June 2025
Location – The Common, Southampton
Time – Please select the 13.45 time slot
Open to – All students – boys and girls - and parents!
Age restrictions – Your child will need to be 13 by the age of the event
Group meet time – 12.45
Fundraising –There will be an entry fee (currently discounted with the code 30SPRING), and you will have a page to raise some money for the charity.
If your child would like to join us, you will need to enter for them. Race-for-Life state that any child under 15 should enter with an adult, so you would need to sign up with them. However, I have spoken to the charity who have said that you can call them directly to book a child only space so that they can join with us as the leading adults if slots are available. If only your child is attending, you will still need to remain at the event.
Please follow the below link to book if you are booking for your child with an adult space too: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/team/crofton-school-year-8
Please donate if you can!

Head of Year 8
