Head is a class act

Pupils from Southgate’s Wolfson Hillel Primary joined the marathon crowds to watch headteacher Jason Marantz run in aid of Camp Simcha, assisting children with life-threatening illnesses.

His weekly training regime gave a new slant to the school run as he often jogged the seven miles home from work: “It was fun for the children to see, and provided a bit of a talking point with the parents.” But his preparation paid off with a finishing time of 4 hours 38 minutes.
