More than 400 children showed off their gymnastics and trampolining skills at an annual schools festival.

The week-long festival saw children aged five to 18 taking part from 40 primary schools, three special and eight secondary schools.

Councillor Ayfer Orhan, cabinet member for schools and children’s services, protection and libraries, said: “We can expect to see some terrific routines from all those taking part. It is amazing just how polished the sequences from all age groups can be. It is a credit to the performers and their teachers that they are able to achieve such high standards.”

The final gymnastics event will take place tomorrow at Edmonton leisure centre.
