We are delighted to confirm that we will be working with Taurus Events again this year to deliver the Primary School’s Challenge on Sunday 16th May 2027.

We are sure you will be thrilled to hear that the final mile will once again be completed on the Hoe! There will still be an option for those to complete their challenge at school or home too, if you have children unable to make the date.

There is no limit on the number of children taking part on the Hoe in 2027. There are still adult to children ratios though, so please stick to them. The ratios of adults to children must be adhered to; 1:5 for KS1 children and 1:10 for KS2 children.  If children require 1:1 support, please provide evidence of this along with your booking form. Please note that we will not be able to provide additional T-shirts for Head Teachers so if they are planning on attending, please incorporate them into your pupil:staff ratio. Additional adults over this ratio will be charged a fee of £8 per person. This also includes any changes to participants after the closing date for example, a change of t-shirt size. All adults attending on the Hoe will need to have DBS clearance through their school and must have a School’s Challenge T-shirt; please bear this in mind when completing the school entry form, and you won’t need any extra adults to stay in the enclosure. 

Also, please be aware photographs will be taken at this event and will be used afterwards for promotional purposes connected with the event, and on signing the entry form you consent to images of members of the school team being used in this way.

The deadline to return your completed entry forms is Tuesday 1st December 2026. The entry form declaration must be hand signed by your Head Teacher/Head of School or it will be returned. Late entries cannot be considered. 

We will email you confirming your entry and a date for the briefing which a member of staff MUST attend. All schools will receive an invoice from Taurus Events Ltd, which must be paid in full by 26th February 2027 (note that if full payment is not received by this date, you will not be able to participate).

If you have any further question please email Tamsin: psspadmin@sjhcsc.co.uk
