Yesterday's Routh demonstrated what our school community is all about - friendship, sportsmanship, achievement and fun.
The sun was shining down on the Upper as pupils and staff ran across the glorious Rutland countryside, with the winner crossing the line at 30:21:20.
Congratulations to all those who came away with silverware, including the winning houses - Fairfield and Highfield! 🏆
Wishing everyone in our community a wonderful Easter break.
