A 20 STRONG contingent of Bradworthy Academy pupils returned from the recent Devon Schools Floor and Vault Competition held in Exeter clutching a terrific selection of medals.

Despite there being plenty of schools present to compete, Bradworthy proved to be a strong team and got their just rewards.

They won gold in the girls under 11 and girls under nine competitions, and silver in the under 11 mixed event.

Individual gymnasts Cara Philips and Cerys Lewis also won bronze in their categories.

Headteacher Richard Stephenson believes this achievement reflects the commitment that the school has towards gymnastics and many other sports.
