In May 2025 Armfield Academy suddenly lost one of it's own, Pat Burns. Pat was a huge part of the school community due to his kind, caring and playful nature. Both students and staff were devastated to lose such a beloved member of staff and huge character around school. In his memory it only seems right to set ourselves a challenge that requires tenacity and resilience, two things Pat had masses of, and do it for a charity close to his heart following his time in the military and losing his leg.
