Scottish Schools Cross Country Championships

The re-scheduled Scottish Schools Cross-Country Championships took place on March 17th at Hopetoun House Estate in South Queensferry. This was the Schools third year taking part in the championships. Last year we had two athletes (Peggy-Nan and Robaidh) break into the top 40 which was a massive achievement. This year the school raised the bar substanstionaly. Here’s a run down of all performances:

D Boys


Connor Walker 51st

C Girls


Shona Carey 18th
Peggy-Nan Rodger 54th
Beth Murray 72nd
Abbey Hart 76th
Kerry Stewart 79th

Girls Team 4th! 

C Boys


Rico Marinovic 60th

B Boys


Robaidh Whyte 35th
Alasdair Campbell 50th
Duncan MacKenzie 64th

A Girls


A Boys

Andre Carey 26th
David Comerford 29th

So what a difference a year makes. Last year two x top 40s, this year we had 5 including two top 20 finishes! Yet again fantastic running from talented pupils. The C Girls finishing 4th team in the country is amazing, well done to the girls. This eclipses our best team result from the B boys two years ago. More to come from SGG in years to come! 

SGG are going to the World Schools’ Netball Cup!

We have been invited to take part in the World Schools Netball Cup in Loughborough in June 2025! What a fantastic opportunity for the girls ...
