Mrs Coker has completed the London Marathon 2015 in just over 5 hours! What an amazing achievement ! Despite a nasty fall, requiring attention from the St John's ambulance team, Mrs Coker was determined to get back on the course and finish. It seems likely that she may have sustained a rib injury but in spite of the pain she must be suffering, she was not going to give up. I received an elated phone call just before 5pm this afternoon, followed by this wonderful picture proudly displaying her medal! Congratulations and a huge, huge thank you to Mrs Coker and all of her family!! An amazing day!! I hope that a great deal of "TLC" is poured upon her this evening and a good rest!

Thank you to all of the parents and friends of the school who have generously sponsored Mrs Coker and we look forward to finding out the total raised very soon!

CONGRATULATIONS MRS COKER & THANK YOU!

Update 12pm, Sunday.

Elaine Coker, mother of Ben and Max Coker ran the London Marathon today hoping to raise funds through generous sponsorship for the school. Mrs Coker, who has been training all year for this run has applied twice before to run the marathon and has been unlucky. This year however, she won her place and wearing the number "17676" was one of the 35,000+ people running this year!

Popping into assembly on Friday to show the children what she would be wearing, Mrs Coker showed them the knitted duck which her mother had knitted for her some years ago, which she would be carrying along the way. We will keep you posted as soon as we have any news of her achievement.

A Just Giving page for donations has been set up by Mrs Coker. Texts can be sent from your mobile phones to 70070, quoting CSPA00 followed by £5 or £10.
