School headteacher David Farrar said: “In Olympic year the ideals of taking part and enjoyment linked to striving to success have really been apart of school life here at Shrubland Street.

“With 15 free after school clubs the children have really gone for it and their success is a reflection of this.

“What is all the more incredible, this is achieved at a small school with no green space so every fixture is an away fixture.”
