Bakewell Methodist Academy Become Part of the Parkrun Primary initiative

A group of enthusiastic pupils, parents and teachers from Bakewell Methodist Academy, joined the parkrun community at Monsal Trail on Saturday 18th October. Mrs Owens, the headteacher and Mrs Donovan a class teacher ran with the children from the school along the 5km trail. Bakewell Methodist Academy are proud to now be a part of the Parkrun Primary family and will be encouraging pupils and staff to join the Parkrun Primary initiative once a month at Monsal Trail Parkrun.

One year six pupil said "It was really hard to run 5km but running with my friends and teachers made it fun. The best part was the cake afterwards!"

The children have been learning about resilience and challenging themselves to take part in things which they find difficult. Parkrun Primary is the perfect opportunity to try this whilst feeling supported and encouraged all the way by friends and staff from the school.
