Scarborough students have honoured Captain Sir Tom Moore, with a 100-mile challenge for Saint Catherine’s.

Students at Springhead School, in Scarborough, took on a very special challenge inspired by their hero - Captain Sir Tom Moore.

Sixth form students at the school, which has pupils with a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities, have walked 100 miles, by completing laps of the playground.

The students from sixth form have collected a total of £710 in sponsor money and presented it to Saint Catherine’s.

Deputy headteacher, Jan Johnson, said:

“It was a huge challenge for our students – they’ve done so well and we’re so proud of them.

“The encouraging comments they got really supported them and kept them going.”

The school team chose to support Saint Catherine's in memory of a beloved former colleague, Beth Judd, who was cared for by the hospice before she sadly passed away in January.
