ST Joseph's Primary School's Key Stage 1 gymnasts achieved success in the Key Steps Gymnastics Area Finals this month.

The team of 11 girls travelled to Haygrove School in Bridgwater, where they competed against St Mary's, Westonzoyland and Nether Stowey.

Working in two teams of five and six, the girls had to complete a short gymnastics sequence and were scored accordingly.

Their team scores were then combined and positions were announced at the end of the competition.

The two teams finished in both first and second place and will now go forward to represent both the school and Sedgemoor area in the prestigious School Games County Finals that are being held in April in Yeovil.

Mr Fisher, PE coordinator, said he was very proud of the girls for their efforts.
