Inspirational six-year-olds from a Worcester school have their sights set high this summer as they take on the Three Peaks Challenge in just three days.

Ffion Williams and Tiegan White, who attend King’s Worcester Prep Schools, set themselves the New Year’s resolution to climb Pen y Fan, which they successfully achieved in April.

Following on from this and inspired by recent school assemblies about charity Project Gambia, Tiegan (Year 1, King’s St Alban’s) and Ffion (Year 2, King’s Hawford) set themselves the challenge to raise enough money to fund the building of a new classroom - £4,000 in total.

Supported by their parents, the girls will take on the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales over three days this summer.

Scaling the heights of the three peaks of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, Snowdon they will cover an impressive ascent of 3,064 meters, 37km of walking, and 462 driving miles all to raise money for charity Project Gambia.

Project Gambia has, since 2007, established a range of projects in schools, villages, and farms to provide education, support, and funding to enable people to find a sustainable solution to poverty. The King’s Worcester, Foundation is one of the 30 local schools and community groups who support the work of Project Gambia.

Bev Hodt from Project Gambia, added: “This is an incredible challenge the girls are set to take on.

"A classroom will change education opportunities, and therefore futures, of not just the children of today, but for countless generations to come.

"We wish them all the best for their training and the forthcoming challenge too.”

Tom Butt, headmaster of King’s Hawford, said: “Three mountains in three days is a lot for anyone - but especially for such little legs!

"We are so very proud of their determination, kindness, and generosity to support this wonderful charity.”
