The initiative, run by charity Youth Sport Trust last week, saw Broom Barns pupils - from nursery to Year 6 - try a variety of activities offered by clubs in the local community, including football, wrestling and dancing.

Chris Kalaiarasu, the school's PE lead, said: "The aim was to help all the children have a week of fun whilst promoting a happy, healthy and active lifestyle.
"The children had the opportunity to learn new sports skills, giving them a taster of clubs available in the town. The week culminated in a competitive sports day for each class bubble."

He said it was just what the children needed "after a year in which young people had their worlds turned upside down and sports days and competitions were cancelled amid the pandemic".
