Pupils of St Michael's Prep School have raised an incredible £15,203 for charity as part of this year's Schools' Knight Frank Triathlon.

Competing in the race at Sevenoaks School during May, the children were challenged to swim 50m, cycle 1000m and run 750m, but that wasn't the hardest part. As part of their entry for the triathlon, the children also had to come up with inventive ways to raise money for charities including Restless Development who support the power of young people to create a better World. They train, mentor and connect thousands of young people to lead positive change in their communities, tackling challenges like lack of education, unemployment and climate change.

In total, 133 pupils in Years 3 to 6 at St Michael's competed in the triathlon and in total, the school's teams raised £15,203 for charity of which £3911 was donated to St Michael's chosen charity Demelza House who the school have a long-standing support of, and £11,292 was donated to Restless Development.
