PARKSIDE School students loved getting wet and muddy as they headed for the woods to take part in the annual Lane Fox Challenge.

Youngsters from the Cullingworth school had a very successful day taking part of the annual competition that

The challenge involved Parkside students who are taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme.

Hayley Evans and James Windle, the school’s DofE coordinators, said the students were amazing and did Parkside proud.

One added: “The day consisted of a number of team-building challenges which tested them physically and mentally.

“Although they finished very muddy and wet they were in high spirits the whole time, and we are delighted to announce that we came second to a Sixth Form team and we won the award for Best Effort and Determination.”

Parkside entered the Lane Fox Challenge for the first time in autumn last year, winning first place against 14 other Duke of Edinburgh groups.

The Lane Fox Challenge has been held for more than 30 years and is a highlight of the calendar for Duke of Edinburgh groups from Bradford district schools, scout groups, youth clubs and cadet forces.
