Pupils at a March school learned the art of speed skipping from a world beating expert on Thursday (26).

Pete Thompson, a five times Guinness World Record Holder in speed skipping, runs 'skip Beatz' promoting health through skipping to music.

He brought his skills to All Saints Academy where all pupils from reception to Year 6 were treated to a demonstration before having a go themselves.
