Budding gymnasts compete for school games place

Budding gymnasts showed off their skills on Tuesday as they competed for the chance to represent the area in the Berkshire School Games in the summer.

The competition, which took place at Newlands Girls' School, featured about 130 pupils from seven primary schools across Ascot and Maidenhead showing off their skills on the vault, on the floor, and in the body management discipline.

Children as young as five took part in the Ascot & Maidenhead School Sport Partnership event, which saw about 30 Newlands pupils act as judges, team leaders and officials.

The competition was won by Cookham Rise Primary School in the years one and two category and by Holyport Primary School for years three and four and five and six.

The winners will now go on to compete at the county games at Bradfield College in Reading in July.
