Dear Parents and Carers,

 

GREAT NEWS! The Chichester Corporate Challenge is back!!

Mrs Huggett and I are really excited at the prospect of putting teams together from Yapton C. of E. Primary School to take part in this brilliant event.

The Chichester Corporate Challenge is a series of 1400 metre road races which are held in the centre of Chichester.  These are going to take place on the evenings of Wednesday 23rd June, Wednesday 7th July and Wednesday 21st July.   There are separate races for year 5 girls, year 5 boys, year 6 girls and year 6 boys.

The school entered teams for the first time back in 2019 (before any lockdowns were even on the horizon) and everyone who took part had a fantastic time.  They also felt incredibly proud representing the school amongst so many other children of their age.  Before the first race, those who made up the teams did some extra training during school time to prepare them for the races.  This of course would happen again this year.

We haven’t been given long to enter the series of races, so if your child would definitely like to take part, please can you let me know using the office2@yaptonschoool.org email address by midday on Tuesday 15th June.

Further details about the actual event will be sent out later next week, once we know we have got sufficient numbers committed to take part.

These events are of course subject to the current restrictions being lifted on 21st June.  Let’s hope there is some positive news about that!

 

Kind regards

Chris Hughes

Deputy Headteacher
