The two-day event was organised by former teacher Douglas Buchanan, who puts on similar challenges around the country, and this year saw a record number of schools getting involved.

The hosting school said the challenge was a 'chance to celebrate the achievements of those who may not necessarily be in the limelight in other areas of school life' and an opportunity to 'share good practice' between different schools.
