Fitness, Running and Cross Country

Running clubs are in place across the Schools. In the Junior School, sessions run for KS1 and KS2 and a fitness club also runs for Years 5 and 6.

In the Senior School, sessions run for Years 7 and 8 and Year 9 and 10. Some sports also incorporate running sessions into the week. For example, the 1st XV Rugby Captains’ Run. Cross Country clubs run regularly during the summer term and are open to all pupils. These clubs help prepare pupils for various athletics competitions in the summer term and for internal events like the House Cross Country on the Town Moor or Sports Day at Gateshead Stadium.
