There were individual and team honours for the Hedingham School orienteering team at the British Schools Score Championships in Worcestershire.
A Score competition is slightly different to the regular orienteering event the youngsters are used to where instead of navigating a specific course in order, all runners have 45 minutes to navigate to as many controls as possible, with penalties for going over the time limit.
It requires the orienteers to make significant decisions about route choice and to judge the time required to locate each control to avoid any time penalties.
The outstanding individual performance was from year nine pupil Daisy Partridge who, running up as a year ten, won an individual British Schools Championship gold medal after successfully navigating a class-winning 22 controls and earning the team 220 points.
The Upper Secondary Girls team of Harriet Vinter, Annie Northfield, Tia Coster, Laura Smith, Jasmine Clackett and Partridge won bronze medals.
