Southend Cross-Country Competition

Wow, wow, wow! West Leigh's cross-country runners have been working hard. Last week, 48 children competed in the annual Southend Cross-Country competition. The teachers were so proud watching on as the children showed fantastic levels of determination, resilience and self-belief when competing. It is always a joy to see our children cheering on other competitors and being sporting at the end of races too.

After a tense week of waiting for the results, we can reveal that West Leigh are the cross-country champions, for the third year running! Each of the 8 teams who competed finished in the top 2! This means that ALL competitors have qualified for the Essex finals, which take place in 2024. This is an incredible achievement that has never been seen before at West Leigh!
