Students and staff from Burnley High School were covered in bright and vibrant colours as they took part in a colour run event last week.

The school was awash with every shade under the sun as staff and pupils rounded off their sports and wellbeing day on Friday, July 21.

Hundreds of students took part in the colour run at Burnley High School on Byron Street, which was one of several action-packed sports and creative activities designed to promote positive mental and physical health.

Benchball, rounders and athletics events saw all students coming together to compete in against each other.

For those who wanted something less physically demanding, there was also an arts session for young people to enjoy which was aimed at promoting positivity, kindness and encouraging them to feel good about themselves.

A sign that was made by the students read: “At Burnley High School we are a family. Wellbeing is about viewing life positively and feeling good about ourselves. This is something we look to encourage at BHS.”

Headteacher Mrs Emma Starkey, said: “Our students were resilient and respectful during our Sports and Wellbeing day and everyone took part in true Burnley High School style!

"We couldn't be more proud of our students and their teamwork and care for their peers.”
