High school students were praised after retaining two titles at an annual fun run.

Debden Park High School students took part in the Rotary Club of Epping's Copped Hall fun run on Sunday.

The under-13 races were won by Grace Barns and Joe Rowson, while the under-15 race was won by Jimmy Neary.

Subject leader and School Sports Co-ordinator, Jen Perry, said: “This was Debden Park's third time at the Copped Hall run and the students have yet again won both team events through their determination and commitment to sport, and representing our school.

“We hope to see more entries next year from the schools in the district as it is a great local competition."​
