Students from Sidmouth College, part of the Ted Wragg Trust, took on the rugged terrain of Exmoor this term as part of the Exmoor Challenge, an annual endurance event organised in partnership with Sid Vale Scouts. 

The challenge sees teams of four walking 16 miles across Exmoor within a fixed time, answering quiz questions along the way. Teams are scored based on punctuality and quiz accuracy.

Special congratulations go to Lucy, Grace, and Wilfrid, who teamed up with a student from Colyton Grammar School and achieved joint first place , an outstanding accomplishment in this competitive and physically demanding event.

Also representing Sidmouth College were Lucy D, Grace M, Wilfrid F, Eddie P, Florence A-R, Ben B, and James I, all of whom showed determination, teamwork, and resilience throughout the challenge.

Adding to the celebrations, pupils from Sidmouth College’s feeder primary schools, Sidbury and Newton Poppleford, took home the title of Best Primary School Team, highlighting the strength and spirit of young learners across the local education community.

Mrs Lisa Whitworth, Headteacher at Sidmouth College said:

 "We are incredibly proud of all our students for embracing this challenge with such enthusiasm and teamwork. Their success reflects not only physical endurance but great character and collaboration."

Moria Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust said:

 "This is a wonderful example of our learners going beyond the classroom to push themselves and support one another. Congratulations to all involved, what an incredible achievement for Sidmouth and our wider school community.”
