A group of students from the district beat youngsters from across the country in a geography competition.

Six year ten pupils from St Mary’s School, Menston, were selected for the finals of the Worldwise Challenge, which was held over a weekend in the Lake District.

One team – Emma Fearon, Michael Jones and Lucy Rothwell – were judged overall winners, while Jake Longhorn was awarded the outstanding individual award for his contribution. Robbie Pennock and Michael Nisbet were highly-commended.

Hundreds of schools take part in the challenge, which is sponsored by the Geographical Association.
