A gorgeous afternoon spent in the sunshine, with stunning views, clocking up over 10miles 💪🏃♀️I’ve really struggled running in the heat lately so opted for a long walk instead……this counts right? 🤪
@WeAreERC
The face of a smug 10k, despite finding this a struggle today, for many various reasons-I managed it 💪
@WeAreERC
It definitely helped having my 90s clubland playlist to power me through 🏃♀️🎶🎧
An unusually early dart from work meant I could squeeze a little 5k run in….I’m definitely not a fan of running in the heat and tonight was no exception 🥵 however, apparently I’m the local legend now? 🤣And I wonder how long my new trainers will stay bright white? 😂
@WeAreERC
Filled with absolute elation to have finished the
@Great_Run
Manchester half with a PB of 2hours 4 🙌 How it started versus how it finished and still smiling 😊 What an amazing crowd, gave me goosebumps towards the end and I can’t wait to do it all again in October 😬
@WeAreERC
Not my usual 5k route and it’s safe to say I’m not a fan of running in the heat but I’m definitely a fan of running with those Sicilian views 😂
@WeAreERC
A gorgeous Tuesday evening run, it’s been a hard slog trying to get any kind of distance lately, been really struggling with illness, but tonight I felt some sort of progress was made ☺️ getting prepared for the main event on Sunday

@ManchesterHalf
A beautiful explosion of colour as students completed their mini ceramic tiles during yesterdays art lesson. An investigation into warm and cool colour schemes which we think look absolutely fab 🤩🤩🤩
It felt great to be back out there running again today for the Bolton 10k after a 4 week break. Not a PB this time but super happy to finish sub the hour at 57.57 🏅
@WeAreERC
Fantastic focus shown by year 8 art students this afternoon. Exploring the work and life of pop artist Roy Lichtenstein when creating their own painted versions of the artists iconic style! Beautifully presented paintings and research in sketchbooks!

I’m an absolute sucker for a place with a view and my gosh have we had some views this evening 😍 found the most unbelievable little cove with lots of caves to go back to and explore! Simple incredible 🤩🤩🤩
This week year 8 students have been working on their observation skills creating drawings of the eye with a focus on accurate proportions, shape and tone. They have done a marvellous job so far 🤩🤩🤩 what do you think?
Really feeling the love this week from our wonderful students and staff 🥰 coming back from break duties to a fabulous eye drawing and a little note of appreciation from Gracie in year 7. And not forgetting Miss Pointon-always making sure I’m well fed! 😂
