The Three Peaks Challenge is one of the toughest outdoor challenges in the UK and involves climbing the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon), one after another – with an aim to complete the challenge within 72 hours. This challenge will see us climbing 5,200 feet and trekking 25 miles.

School have Mr Clay, Mr Godson, Mrs Smith, Mrs Freeman, Mrs Wardell, Mr Wardell, Mrs Glaves, Mr Glaves, Miss Massingham, Miss Cragg and Mrs Taylor who intend on completing the challenge on 31st August to 3rd September 2023.

So far we have raised about £1000 towards some wonderful causes. This is the second page due to the first timing out.

Why are we doing it?

Church Lane Primary School and Nursery lies at the heart of Sleaford, Lincolnshire. We see ourselves as a community school and feel we play a really important part within society, by not just providing an education to children but also supporting families with day to day issues. Overtime, we have seen 2 specific areas of our community become integral to keeping households running. The first is the Community Larder at New Life and the second the community Grocer. These two projects are vital lifelines for many families. As a school, we wish to raise money to support these projects with their ongoing sustainability and ensure they can continue to function and offer the service which they do.

In addition to the above, we also aim to raise money for our schools Academy of Arts. The arts are often forgotten about when it comes to school and funding but we feel they have such an important place in supporting children to be creative and have skills outside the national curriculum. Evidence, including our own, show that children's mental health and self-esteem can be dramatically improved as a result of taking part in activities such as dance. The school wishes to raise some money to improve our arts offer but also improve our facilities so that we can offer high level arts training with professionals that engages and encourages children to be positive citizens within society.
