The school's Year 6 pupils entered the competition after winning the Easington School Sports Partnership swimming competition.

Taking part in the County Finals was Year 6 pupil Nathan Shaw.

Nathan, 11, said: "At first I was a little nervous but then I became really excited. We did really well and worked as a team - it was so much fun."

Team mate Amelia Charlton, 11, added: "I loved cheering each other on as we raced. It was great to be part of the team."

The school is part of the Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust.
