With sports days unable to take place this year, Ark Academy is taking part in the Ark Sports Day Challenge - to get the schools across the Ark network to collectively cycle, run and walk the distance around the world. It is 40,000km!

Ark Academy, has set a distance of 5,000 and they are racing across Europe! The school only has two weeks to complete the challenge, from the 1st to 15th July.

Ark Academy need your help... they are fundraising during this event to further motivate themselves and all donations will will support our children who have been most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. This crisis has affected everyone differently. Some of our children will have really struggled to keep up with their learning since schools have been closed - not all have digital access at home or a suitable place to study. Many of our children will also be from families who have suffered illness or financial distress. We must take action now to address this impact on our children to ensure we can prevent this crisis causing long term issues.
