Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The Fan Dance is a 15-mile (24km) route march in the Brecon Beacons that forms part of the UK Special Forces selection process. It is used as the first major indicator of whether a candidate has the physical & mental aptitude to complete the course.

The challenge begins with an immediate ascent of Pen y Fan which is 2,907 feet (886 m). The route then descends on the other side of the peak down an old Roman Road to the halfway point before turning around and reversing the route. The return leg provides an even tougher challenge with the evil ascent back up the Fan known as Jacobs Ladder.

Our group of parents and teachers will be challenged mentally and physically to complete the same route on Sunday 27 June!

We are aiming to raise as much money as possible towards chickens for the children, an outdoor pizza oven and garden planters for each year group to 'grow their own'. Your sponsorship will go directly to these projects and be for the benefit of all pupils in the school.
