After-school activities are helping children at a West Bromwich school excel in sport.
Pennyhill Primary School pupils are enjoying sessions including gymnastics, table tennis, martial arts and boxercise.
The sporty youngsters recently came in second place in a cross country competition.
Forty children across all year groups competed in the Sandwell North Schools Cross Country Competition and took the overall silver medal against four other schools.
Head teacher of the Hollyhedge Road school Juliet Woolley said: “The children showed great character and ability to come second overall in the event with Emily Lander and Munashe Chipato winning their respective races."
“Children at school are seizing the opportunity to be part of our extensive range of sporting activities which is fabulous.
"We want them to experience sport in a safe and friendly environment and they are really enjoying themselves.”

Senghor was the first African to sit as a member of the Académie française. He was also the founder of the political party called the Senegalese Democratic Bloc. He is regarded by many as one of the most important African intellectuals of the 20th century. Senghor created the concept of Négritude, an important intellectual movement that sought to assert and to valorize what they believed to be distinctive African characteristics, values, and aesthetics..He does not condone oppression and violence in any shape or form.
