THE last day of term at a Bexley secondary school will see three cyclists set off on a 400-mile charity cycle ride.

They hope to raise £1,000 each for the children’s charity the Children’s Society.

The trip to Lands End and back was the brainchild of Welling School’s science teacher Chris Valentine and his friend Brad Read.

They will join forces with Alex McWhinnie, head of PE at the school, will be supported by driver Chas Beckett, also from the school and Dave Potter, a retired teacher.

They set off on July 18 and aim to do the trip in six days. To support them, call Saskia Delman on 020 8303 2876.
