    What an incredible Colour Run! What a fantastic afternoon we've had at James Bateman! It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces, plenty of laughter and, of course, lots and lots of colour! A huge thank you goes to our amazing PTFA for giving up their time to run the stalls, to Mrs Montifroy for organising such a brilliant event, and to all of our staff who helped make the afternoon run so smoothly. Most importantly, thank you to our fantastic pupils. Your enthusiasm, energy and positive attitudes made the event such a success, and it was wonderful to see everyone having so much fun together. We were especially proud that this event was completely free for all of our pupils, ensuring everyone had the opportunity to join in and celebrate the end of the school year together. Thank you to everyone who helped make today so memorable. We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did! KS2 run
