During the summer holidays, we lost a very dear and valued member of our team – Miss Gilbert.  As I am sure you can appreciate, this has had a massive impact on our whole school and it has left a huge void.  Miss Gilbert had worked at Battling Brook for over 10 years and worked tirelessly and selflessly for the school, it’s pupils and the wider community.  This is why we want to do something special to commemorate her life.

Alongside her teaching role, Jade’s passions in life were travelling and going to the gym so we have combined these and decided to create a challenge to really push ourselves and to raise as much money as possible to build an onsite, outdoor gym – “Jade’s Gym”.  The total cost needed is approximately £16,500. Jade was an incredible lady who had a positive impact on anyone who came into contact with her.  Her zest for life and enthusiasm in everything she did made her a pleasure to be around.  Her infectious laugh was a common sound that could be heard throughout the school.  This is why we feel so strongly that her memory must be honoured and a suitable tribute must be created as a legacy to the impact that she had on so many in our community.

The event (Gilbert’s Globetrotters) will take place from Wednesday 9th until Friday 11th April 2025 both during the school day and in the evenings.  Events will mainly be on school grounds but we will also visit Hinckley Leisure Centre and we will be holding a large scale cycling event in Richmond Park. You may have heard the tale of Phileas Fogg who travelled the world in 80 days.  Well here at Battling Brook we intend to go one better!  We are hoping to circumnavigate the globe (approx. 25,000 miles) in 80 hours!  No mean feat I am sure you will agree.  However, in order to achieve this, we need the support of all of our staff, pupils and their families. 

During the three days, all children will take part in daily PE lessons/activities and staff will be continually using equipment (provided by Empire Fitness in Hinckley) so that we can chip away at those miles.  The equipment will be located near the main entrance so that visitors/parents/carers can watch our progress. We will also be selling merchandise to help raise further funds such as t-shirt’s, sports bottles and wrist bands.  There will also be a raffle before and during the three days with some amazing prizes.

To date, we have received some extremely generous donations to help us achieve our target, therefore the fundraising amount of £16500 has been reduced to reflect monies already received.
