Not only did Mr Sinclair, Head of Buckingham House, complete the London Marathon but he also achieved his fundraising target of £3,000. Our Marathon Man covered the distance in just over three hours and his tireless efforts will mean the school is able to buy much needed sports equipment for the new sports hall and all weather pitch for use by students, staff and the local community.
