Staff at Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools hit the streets of the Welsh capital for the Cardiff Metropolitan University Cardiff 10k.

The six-strong team was put together by Headmistress at Monmouth School for Girls, Mrs Jessica Miles.

Each member of the team achieved a personal best time for the distance and raised money for Kidney Wales on Sunday 2nd September.

Mrs Miles was supported by her Deputy, Mr Tom Arrand; and colleagues Mrs Helen Edwards (PA to Mrs Miles); Mr Alex Peace (Head of Boarding), Mrs Jennie Phillips (Headmistress at

Monmouth School Girls’ Prep) and Mrs Rachel Rees (Head of Sixth Form at Monmouth School for Girls).

Mrs Miles said: “Six weeks ago I could barely run for two minutes without needing a lie down.

“My mum has battled through many things but she is now on dialysis three times a week, and she keeps going strong, and that is what inspired me to put a team together.”

The Monmouth team was among around 9,000 entrants who laced up their trainers for one of the leading road races in the UK.
