Pupils at an Exmouth primary school have enjoyed a full week of sporting activities.

Brixington Primary Academy invited local coaches and clubs to provide demonstrations of sports including boxing, volleyball, mixed martial arts, cricket, rugby, yoga, football, dance and more between 19 and 23 June.

Highlights of the week included a visit from pro skater Rich Parker, who put the children through some "gruelling" circuits to test their fitness, and a traditional sports day competition which was attended by hundreds of parents and carers. 

The school said its subject leader for PE, Katie Burnett, was "determined that all children would have an opportunity to try a sport that they hadn't tried before". 

Head of School Stuart Dyer added: "We wanted more of our children to sign up for lots of the great sporting clubs that we have in Exmouth. Already we've heard of girls signing up for rugby training and lots of children joining MMA.

"Sportsmanship is one of our core values, along with respect, friendship and endeavour, all of which were easy to see throughout the week." 

Brixington Primary Academy is a school for children aged 3-11 in Exmouth and is rated "good" by Ofsted.
