Budding gymnasts scooped a clutch of awards at a school competition.

Vale School pupils competed in the key stage one contest at Worthing Leisure Centre against 18 other schools and came home with a trophy and a host of medals for their skills.

The team were the overall winners of the contest and the ten children picked up medals for coming top of their categories too.

It was the first time the team had competed in new T-shirts, shorts and leotards sponsored by Rossetts Commercials. Martin Garratt, headteacher at the Worthing school, said their success was linked to the pride in wearing their new kit.

He said: “We recently opened a new sports hall, which is a huge benefit to the children, allowing them to train and take part in more competitions.

“They really enjoy gymnastics and love their kits.

“The support from Rossetts is much appreciated and the children are so proud of their new outfits.”
