On Saturday 17^th November The Ramsey College Orienteering Team comprising of Lucy Edwards, Georgia Gower, Chloe Plumb, Amy Bocking, Callum Turner, Tom Lock and Joshua Emmerson headed off to Delamere Country Park in Cheshire to compete in the British Schools Orienteering Championship. The team competed against schools from all over the country and were alongside some of the best orienteering athletes from Great Britain.

Once again, all the students put in a great performance and worked extremely well as a team to support each other through the testing event.

The Year 8 girls’ team finished in 5^th place which was a fantastic achievement.  However, the main highlight of the competition was when The Ramsey College gained second place in the Whole School Team Competition - Small Secondary Category.

It has been the college’s aim over the past 2 years to gain a place on the podium at one of the National events so it was absolutely amazing to see the students’ hard work rewarded and acknowledged and to see them proudly standing on the podium with a silver medal around their neck.

We are now looking to strengthen the team for next year’s event in order to push to be National Champions.

A big thank must go out to all the students’ parents who have helped support us along the way.
