NSPCC Rocks - Times Tables Rock Stars Results As a school, we finished 192nd out of over 4,000 schools. Vikings came 16th in the East of England, out of 2,300 classes and 241st in the whole country out of more than 21,000 classes. A brilliant performance by all, well done! Joshua, in Year 6, was our highest-scoring pupil with 4,783 correct answers in 60 minutes. He finished 36th in the East of England out of more than 30,000 pupils. A superb achievement that he should be very proud of. Our next competition runs from 13th February to 13th March and is between all schools in the Consortium Trust; last time we finished 2nd.

As well as taking part in the Sportshall Athletics Tournament on Thursday, 15th January, two of our pupils (Josh and Layla-Rose) also took part in another round of cross-country. This race took place on a tricky course in tricky conditions at Woodbridge School. Both children have represented the school and themselves superbly throughout these events as they keep earning the opportunity to compete against over 200 year 6 and 7 seven pupils. Layla-Rose finished with a time that earned her a joint 47th place finish and was one of only six year 6 pupils to finish in the top 50! Josh also ran an amazing race and came 19th overall. Josh's incredible top 20 finish earned him a spot as the reserve for the Suffolk Schools Team, who are due to race this weekend. This is the first time a Rendlesham pupil has placed this highly and been in contention for the Anglian Finals. It is also not just current pupils who ran very successful races at Woodbridge School, as former pupils, Isaac and Elsa, also took part. Elsa ran a very resilient race and came 25th overall, well done on another brilliant result Elsa! We would like to wish Isaac the best of luck for this weekend too. His astounding 6th place finish in his race has earned him a place running for the Suffolk Schools Team in the previously mentioned Anglian Finals taking place in Northampton. Go and smash it Isaac! We are so proud of all our runners, from those who took part in the very first round way back in April of 2025 to those who have competed in the more recent qualification rounds. Planning is well underway for this year's iteration of the Suffolk Schools event, for year 4,5 and 6, due to take place in March 2026, and we cannot wait to celebrate many more fantastic achievements.
