Pupils from reception to Year 10 took part in the run. Due to coronavirus measures still in place across these schools, students ran and walked within their own bubbles safely at staggered times throughout the day.
Stuart Burns, chief executive officer of the David Ross Education Trust, said: “I am delighted that so many of our pupils signed up for the Santa Run and we are so proud of their efforts. We are extremely grateful to all of our students and families for supporting this event so generously, especially at the tail end of an extremely challenging year.”
