The Bandstand Cup is an annual event which involves the whole of the Prep - 175 children from Year 3 all the way to Year 6 - and staff. Our parents get involved, lining the streets along the river, cheering the children on.
Here's a video from last year's event:
The race starts at the Bandstand in Dukes Meadows and ends near the School on Upper Mall with all the children running together (the young years get a bit of a head start). Pupils love the chance to win points for their houses and this year it was Kingfisher House that raised the cup for the second year running.
"It’s always a fun event and the children, staff and parents all have a really good time," says Mr Mills, Prep's Head of Sport. "We were very lucky with the weather and everyone was able to gather together in the beautiful Prep garden for the medal ceremony after the race."
