Youngsters from an Exmouth primary school are preparing for the inter-school athletic finals after winning the local competition.

Brixington Primary School pupils were victorious after winning an inter-school indoor athletics festival.

The pupils were pitted against youngsters from others schools around Exmouth.

Next month the pupils will represent East Devon at the Devon finals, in Torquay.

For the second year running, Brixington Primary School came out tops at the East Devon finals, held at The King’s School, Ottery St Mary.

A spokesman for the school said: “It is quite an achievement, and something the children and school can feel justly proud of.”
