When we first set out to organise the very first Santa Run, we were quietly hoping we might attract around 100 runners… so you can imagine our surprise – and delight – when over 300 people signed up that first year! Since then, the event has just kept growing, with incredible support from our local community every step of the way.

In 2021, after taking a year off due to Covid, we came back stronger than ever with 400 entries and raised over £4,000 for the school – an amazing result!

Now, here we are in our eighth year, and we’re gearing up to make this the best Santa Run yet!

What makes the Santa Run really special is that it’s not put together by professional event organisers, but by a group of dedicated, time-strapped working parents. We’re lucky to have some brilliant supporters who bring their professional expertise to the table – from designing artwork and building the website, to providing first aid and marshalling the route. We’re genuinely so grateful to every single person who gives up their time and skills to help us pull off this event safely and successfully.

We raise funds through race entries, sponsorships, and generous donations. Local businesses have been especially fantastic – you can spot their logos below – and their support helps us keep costs low. That means more of the money we raise goes directly to projects at the school, like our beautiful spiritual garden and exciting outdoor learning areas.
