CHILDREN at Forres Sandle Manor School (FSM) completed a highly-successful day at the Senior Wessex Athletics Championships.

Among 26 schools, the Fordingbridge team competed for glory and a chance to represent the region at national level.

In total, they amassed four gold medals, six silvers and three bronzes.

The gold winners, along with four runners-up, will now progress to the national finals at Alexander Stadium, Birmingham at the beginning of next month.

FSM headmaster Mark Hartley said: "It is worth noting that we are a small school and to achieve this level of success against larger schools is outstanding.

"All these pupils have worked incredibly hard to gain their success but it is in no small part to the encouragement and commitment of the dedicated staff we have here at FSM.

"Iā€™m really looking forward to our annual sports day this year; I think there may be a few school records broken!ā€
