Staff and students from Peggy Markes house swapped their shoes for running trainers on Sunday 13 October, as they prepared for a very muddy challenge ahead!

Students Ryley, Rahel, Asher, Tom and Stanley, along with a number of very dedicated staff members embarked on a 6k mud run – the Eastnor Castle Mud Bath, where they waded, slipped and slid around the challenging course.

The group showed great determination and were cheered on by Nic Ross, Principal of NCW, along with a dedicated team of supporters who supplied much needed encouragement (including a chocolate-based energy boost!)

Deputy Houseparent Claire said: “We had the best time ever and we are SO PROUD of the students, there was loads of mud with a big dash of laughter on the side!”

Well done everyone!
