More than half of the children now take part in extra curricular activities, and all the pupils competed in an inter-school festival.

The school has also engaged with local sports clubs to increase activity outside school hours.

A spokesman for the school said: “Nassington’s achievement recognises many years of development work, ensuring every child has fun and sustainable opportunities to be active every day.”
