“Everyone’s feet are a little sore today,” said headmaster Robert Blewitt, on Tuesday (September 20).

“But it was well worth it. The weather held out for us, and everyone is feeling very proud of what we’ve achieved.”

According to the school, pupils are on track to raise £6,000 to be split between its four adopted charities, which include FishAid, a cancer trust in memory of a Lewes Old Grammar School student.
