The headteacher of a Burntwood primary school is taking on a virtual marathon to help raise funds for a project planned by pupils.

The School Parliament at Springhill Academy have set their sights on sprucing up the exterior of their buildings.

So headteacher Nikita Silvester-Grant is taking part in a virtual marathon challenge with the aim of raising £500 to help the work go ahead.

> “The inside of our school is a thriving environment full of engaging classrooms, passionate children and teachers and a great place to be.  
>  
> “However, the outside of our school doesn’t have the same impact.  
>  
> “So our School Parliament, made up of 12 wonderful children who act as class MPs, have decided that they want to do something about it.  
>  
> “They have decided that they would like to repaint the front of the school, create a new mural which shows who we are, get new signs, design a new logo, put up bird boxes, planters and generally make the outside as amazing as the inside – and I would like to help them achieve this.  
>  
> “Over the month of November, I plan on getting my trainers on and running a virtual marathon.  
>  
> “I’ll be doing this both inside and outside of school, getting the children involved and showing them what we can do when we all work together.”  
>  
> Nikita Silvester-Grant
