Many students, staff, parents and carers were looking forward to the Jubilee Challenge in May. The Jubilee Challenge is part of the Ten Tors event which takes place on Dartmoor every year. Sadly this year the event will not take place, students who have trained this year and will still be at Westfield next year will be able to take part in the 2021 event. Thank you all for your enthusiasm and patience. We will make sure that next year’s event is something to really celebrate!
A statement from the Director Ten Tors, Colonel Neville Holmes MBE:
‘It is with regret that I announce that this year’s Ten Tors event will not go ahead due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision has been made in line with current Government and clinical advice. I know that this will be a great disappointment to many however, given that safety is always our number one priority with Ten Tors, I hope it will not be a surprise. Although this year is the 60th Anniversary of Ten Tors, next year will now see the 60th event and so we look forward to celebrating this milestone with you all then. In the meantime, I would like to congratulate all those who have achieved so much whilst training for this year’s event and thank the hardworking teachers, leaders, parents and others who have enabled them to do so.’
