“Highbury is incredibly grateful to Paddy Collins, the retired teacher who still organises the event, and all the support of the boys’ parents and sponsors. The boys themselves certainly rose to the challenge and discovered that with determination and grit, they could achieve more than they ever believed they could,” said the school’s marketing assistant, Jacqui Maurice.
